You can expect to hear directly from the recruiter responsible, when the selection process opens for that position. This process may take a few weeks from the application date, depending on the volume of applications.

Before looking externally, Syensqo will conclude all internal applications received within the 15 days timeframe.  Should we be unable to source a suitable profile from these, only then will we start to source profiles externally. 

The Syensqo Talent Acquisition Partner (TAP) will review your profile against the agreed set of criteria. Should you meet the minimum level, they will set up a short screening call, before reviewing with the hiring manager.

If you find yourself in this unfortunate situation, we strongly advise discussing it with your line manager first. We prioritise aligning applications with your current job role. However, if your past experience matches other roles, feel free to apply accordingly.

We will make every effort to align interviews to your availability. All interviews will be conducted via video and we ask you to make yourself available to ensure the selection process can be completed in a timely fashion for all parties involved. 

You will be requested to complete the Three-Party Agreement form, between your current manager and your new manager. All parties, including you, will be required to confirm you agree to moving roles from Solvay to Syensqo. Once this is complete, Syensqo can proceed to create your offer proposal. 

This is an agreement between Solvay, Syensqo and the individual wishing to move to Syensqo. TA will send the Three-Party Agreement (form) to the employee,  current line manager and hiring manager to endorse the move. All parties have 5 business days to answer. In case of no answer, the move is accepted. If rejected, the TA will inform the candidate personally. At this point we recommend individuals reach out to their line manager and HR business partner.  

The Syensqo Talent Acquisition Partner (TAP) will communicate to you verbally the details of the offer, and if you are happy, verbally accept the offer and you will receive an offer letter from Syensqo. Please print, sign and return via email to the Syensqo TAP.  

Should you wish to decline the offer, this is your own decision. We recommend you discuss with your line manager or HR Business Partner at this point.
