Our Candidate Experience
At SAM International, we care deeply about our candidates’ experience, time and confidentiality.
We fully recognise that, as a candidate, you dedicate both time and energy to engaging in dialogue with us and our clients about specific job opportunities. That’s why we make a genuine effort to provide a high-quality experience throughout the process – on behalf of both ourselves and our clients.
Our candidates consistently rate us over 9 out of 10 for their overall experience. And we are proud of that.
I would like to emphasize that this has been one of the best application processes I have ever been through. From start to finish, the communication was clear and transparent, and I always felt informed about what the next steps would be. I was never in doubt about what was expected of me or what I could expect from the process.
The process was very structured and professional, yet, at the same time, it felt personal and welcoming. Although interviews can often feel formal, I found there was a good balance that allowed me to express myself freely. Both the online and in-person interviews were pleasant and well-organized, and the questions were relevant and gave me the opportunity to reflect on what I want in my future career.
One thing I truly appreciated was the focus on how the company could meet my needs as a candidate — not just what I could offer the company. It was a refreshing approach that gave me a better understanding of how this could be a good match for me personally. I also received constructive feedback, which I have been able to use to improve my future job applications, including suggestions on how to sharpen my CV.
Of course, it was disappointing to learn that I didn’t get the job, but the feedback was so valuable that I feel I have gained something meaningful for my career. There is nothing I would change about the process—it was transparent, efficient and respectful. I have nothing negative to say about the experience, and I feel the entire process has been very positive.
All in all, I would like to say that I had a very good experience, and I think this application process is an excellent example of how it should be done. I felt well-informed and had confidence in the process from beginning to end.”

Candidate
“I experienced the recruitment process with SAM as professional and at the same time very down-to-earth, in a way that truly focuses on the whole person.
It’s about finding the best match, and, in that sense, it’s a process that benefits both parties. This was handled openly and transparently throughout the process.
SAM manages to create a pleasant and safe environment where there is room to be open and honest.”
