To help us review applications fairly and efficiently, we use a system that automatically checks and decides how well each application matches the role.

This system looks at your answers to a few screening questions. These questions were created by the system and reviewed by the JYSK Talent Acquisition team, and each question and answer have a certain value. Based on your answers, the system ranks all candidates to give us an idea of how closely the job fits your profile.

This helps us manage all applications and make sure everyone is treated equally. The result from the system decides if your application moves forward to the next step. But don’t worry — the final decision is always made by a person.
