At Wempe, we view a career as an individual journey. Whether you are just getting started or bringing experience to the job. We support you as you develop your strengths and build new skills. Our career paths are as diverse as our employees: From sales to management, from trainee to expert, from lateral entry to specialist career.

JOIN US – How to start at Wempe

  • What is important in the application process?

    In the application process, it is important for us to get to know you as a person and what makes you special. It is therefore particularly important to us that we gain as much insight as possible into who you are, what drives you and why you see yourself at Wempe. We look forward to getting to know you!

  • Application & short list

    A motivation letter is optional, but it offers you the opportunity to tell us more about your personality and your goals. Especially at the beginning of your career, it can be helpful, as your résumé may not yet reflect all aspects of your motivation. Feel free to explain why you are interested in this specific position, what goals you are pursuing, and why this role represents a meaningful next step for you. You can also let us know which experiences and strengths you would bring to the team.

    If we move forward to a first interview, we’ll be happy to build on your letter and use it as a starting point for our conversation.

  • Video interview

    If your application convinces us on a professional level, we may invite you to a short video or phone interview. Whether this step is necessary depends on the specific position and your place of residence.

    The number and format of interviews can vary depending on the role. In most cases, we conduct two interviews. What matters most to us is getting to know you as a person and finding out whether we’re a good fit for each other.

  • Personal interview on site

    Introductory meeting and trial work
    In most cases, we’ll meet in person at the relevant office or department so you can get to know the team and your future workplace. Sometimes, there's also the opportunity to join us for a short trial period to get a feel for the role and the day-to-day work.

    For corporate positions:
    In a second interview, you'll meet additional team members, giving you a deeper insight into how we work together.

  • Decision & contract proposal

    At the end of the application process, we’ll get back to you. If both sides feel it’s a good fit, we’ll invite you for a final conversation, make you an offer, and walk you through everything you need to know about your start and the onboarding process.

    We’re already looking forward to hopefully welcoming you to the team – provided you’re just as excited as we are!

  • Onboarding

    Our onboarding process follows a clear structure and is tailored to your specific role. You’ll receive everything you need – from the necessary equipment to all relevant information – to ensure a smooth start and help you feel at ease from day one.

  • Lateral entrants

    You have gained experience in another professional field and would like to move in a new direction? Wempe welcomes lateral entrants! Fresh perspectives and new experiences enrich our company.
    With structured initial training and specific support, we guide you along your career path. Discover our lateral entry opportunity now and apply.

  • Wempe Academy

    Our academy is the centre of our personnel development. Here we promote both specialist know-how as well as personal strengths with practice-oriented training and workshops on communication, leadership, self-management and much more. With our e-learning programme we also provide the opportunity for self-guided learning, with a practical orientation and adapted to your daily work.

Your questions.
Our answers.

  • All vacancy announcements on our career page are current. As long as a position is online, we still accept applications. Some adverts may run for longer, for example if we are looking for several employees to join the team or if the job requires special qualifications.

  • The easiest way is to use the application button in the respective announcement. That way, your application goes directly to the correct contact person in the recruiting team. Uncomplicated, without an applicant profile, and online in just a few minutes.

  • We check every application carefully and in person. Depending on the number of applications, the selection process can take a bit of time. We strive to get back to you as soon as possible. If you have questions in the meantime, please feel free to get in touch – your contact person is listed right in the vacancy announcement.

  • Lots! You can take part in professional sales training in Hamburg or get to know our head office. You visit our watch manufactory in Glashütte, automatically become familiar with other locations, and have access to a wide range of online training programmes on our Wempe E-Learning Academy. In addition, you build a network of important contacts and gather unique experience.

  • Good German skills are very important to us for our customer support. You don't have to be a native speaker of German, but skills at the B2 level are desirable. Just send us a certification of your German skills with your application. Any other language skills you may have are extremely valuable to us because of our international customers and partners.

  • Our application process is mostly digital, so you can apply from outside Germany without any problems. For the final step in the application process – a meet-and-greet day at one of our locations or in Glashütte – you will need to be on site in Germany. We cannot offer you a position with Wempe without meeting you in person.

  • We do value a well-groomed appearance. There are no uniforms at Wempe. Our preferred style is "individual chic". As soon as you start working for us, we'll give you more information on this topic.

  • Not all content applies equally to our international locations. If you are uncertain, please check with your recruiting manager.
