The inventory
The advantage of an inventory is to apply only once. In addition, you will be considered for several job offers. Do not worry, even if your application is not selected for a job immediately, you remain in the inventory and you will still have opportunities to be selected. We therefore encourage you to submit an application ASAP as we have ongoing needs!
Applications will be pulled as and when required.
