Your new job at the Vienna Business Agency

The best way to reach out to us is online through our application portal. That way, you can be sure that the application process is secure and GDPR-compliant. Complete a one-time registration to upload all the necessary documents. In addition to your CV, your cover letter is crucial to us. Use your access to the application portal to amend and supplement your application documents anytime or to apply for other jobs when new job openings are posted. You will find all job openings online. If you are unable to find a suitable position among our openings, go ahead and send us an unsolicited application. 

A complete and conclusive application makes it easier for us to understand your motivation. After all, we want to know why you are interested in working with us. It will take us some time to evaluate whether your experience and knowledge match the job requirements. We also need to coordinate the process with the department seeking additional staff. Our goal is to get back to you with a reply within ten days. If things don't work out, we will be happy to keep your documents on file for a later occasion – provided you agree. That way, we can contact you proactively next time an opening comes up. 

If your qualifications match the advertised position and your application sparks our interest, we'll get in touch to schedule a first interview with the responsible recruitment officer, either online or in person. In this first interview, you will learn more about the Vienna Business Agency, the team, and the job. It will also be an opportunity for us to get to know you better and find out more about your skills and previous professional experience. 

After a successful first interview, we may get in touch to schedule a follow-up appointment. Your future manager and possibly colleagues will also attend this second interview. It will give us a chance to talk more about the responsibilities and requirements of the advertised position. Besides the professional match, the main focus at this stage will be on the personal fit. 

If all the requirements have been met, and we feel that "it's a match", our recruiting team will contact you with a draft contract so that you can become a new member of the Vienna Business Agency team.

Once you have accepted the job, we'll arrange a date so that the contract can be signed in person. This is when you usually get a chance to meet your team and check out your workplace for the first time. It's also an occasion for us to discuss all the details of your first day at work. 

We are aware that you will receive lots of information and have lots of new impressions to take in during the initial time with us – that's why we've made sure you have a job coach to support you. With the help of your job coach, you will get to know our organisation's procedures, processes, and customs. They will always be there to answer your questions. On a tour through the office, you will be introduced to your new colleagues. An info day will be held within your first six months on the job, which will give you an opportunity to engage with other new employees and to familiarise yourself with all the departments of the Vienna Business Agency and their responsibilities. We are delighted to have you on our team! 

Regardless of what position you hold within our organisation, we all share the same objective: to strengthen and develop Vienna as a business location. We all work on exciting projects and tasks together. At the Vienna Business Agency, we get to witness the city’s progress first-hand.
