How much time does usually elapse between the moment when I leave my CV in the base and the moment when Electus contacts me?

Unfortunately, we cannot promise anything to candidates or give a straight answer to this question. Namely, the market dictates everything, and we cannot know when a certain vacancy will appear that will match somebody’s profile. Therefore, some persons will be contacted relatively quickly, and some only after a couple of years. Sometimes due to market requirements and high demand in certain industrial branches, the candidates whose profile matches the requirements and the high demand may be contacted several times, while others will be contacted only once.

If I have already been called for the Electus selection interview and testing, do I need to come again or can my data be immediately referred to some other Employer?

The interview and test questions are made relative to specific position requirements. It rarely happens that two positions are completely the same. Even if everything else is the same, the Employer will not be. In general, therefore, the interview should almost always be repeated. The testing results have a certain „expiry date“, i.e. a time period during which they are considered valid. If this date has expired, testing should be repeated. Very often candidates need to do at least some new tests they have not done before due to specific vacancy requirements.
