It is not a test. It is a conversation
And a good conversation requires preparation on both sides.
How to prepare for recruitment at Zabka Group?
The recruitment process is clear, structured and based on a partnership approach toward candidates. Here is what is worth knowing and how to prepare in the best way.
01
Understand what the Zabka Group is like: check values and working style
Zabka is looking for people who are not afraid of change, like to act, are curious, responsible, and ambitious. It is a company that is:
- innovative and dynamic,
- value-driven (openness, responsibility, credibility, ambition),
- open to diversity,
- focused on real impact and action.
👉 Prepare examples from your experience that show your openness, responsibility, learning agility, and ability to act in a changing environment.
02
What the Zabka Group offers
During the interview you may be asked why you want to work here. It is worth understanding in advance what the Group offers:
- room to act – the opportunity to experiment and introduce changes,
- strong effect – real impact on results and quick decisions,
- sense of purpose – work aligned with the mission and action for a bigger goal,
- you can be yourself – authenticity, diversity, respect.
👉 Show in the interview that this environment motivates you.
03
Check the job ad: team and responsibilities
In job ads, the Zabka Group provides:
- contract type,
- working model (on-site, hybrid, remote, field),
- tasks and challenges.
👉 Note your most important questions about responsibilities and the vision for the role you are applying for. Every question is important and valuable!
04
Prepare for the first phone call or competency test (if planned)
This is a short, focused conversation that checks:
- your motivation,
- availability,
- overall fit,
- key information from your CV.
👉 Prepare:
- a short story of your career,
- reasons for changing jobs,
- why you choose the Zabka Group.
In some cases we ask you to complete a test. It may assess technical competencies or personality traits. If such tests are part of the recruitment process, the recruiter will inform you.
05
Prepare examples that show your flexibility and resilience
The Zabka Group operates in a dynamic environment. Rapid changes and multiple parallel projects are natural here. What does this mean in practice? You need traits that will help you thrive in such an environment.
We expect:
- flexibility,
- adaptation to change,
- fast learning,
- taking responsibility.
👉 Think in advance about sample situations:
- time pressure,
- sudden changes of priorities,
- difficult decisions.
06
Prepare for the main interview – STAR method
The Zabka Group uses a STAR behavioral interview, i.e., questions about real situations from your work:
- S – situation
- T – task
- A – action
- R – result
Example of a typical question:
“Tell us about a situation when you had to act despite an unexpected change of priorities” or
“Tell us about a situation when you had to act despite limited time.”
👉 Prepare 5–7 examples:
- successes,
- difficult situations,
- working under pressure,
- team collaboration,
- mistakes and lessons learned.
This really helps!
07
Prepare for an interview in English and a mobility question
The Zabka Group is international. If English was listed in the job ad, you can expect part of the interview in English.
For some senior roles, we may also ask about your mobility and readiness for short- or long-term relocation.
08
Prepare questions for the recruiter and manager
Good questions make a great impression. Did you know that?
It is important that as a candidate you also get complete information about the role. If you need additional details to decide whether this job is for you, ask. What can you ask about?
- What is the team like?
- What will be most important in the first months?
- How does Zabka support employee development?
- What does daily collaboration and communication in the team look like?
09
After the interview, expect feedback
The Zabka Group always provides feedback to candidates who had an interview. You can check what candidates say about our recruitment processes here.
👉 It is worth being open, asking for details, and asking about areas for further development.
10
Be proactive in communication
The company cares about Candidate Experience, but candidates who:
- respond to messages,
- confirm dates,
- ask follow-up questions,
- inform about changes,
- are always perceived positively.
