Important Note: Our HR team will meticulously evaluate your profile in line with the requirements of the consultancy you have applied for. Since, we receive a good number of applications for all the positions/consultancies Geneva Call advertises, it is not possible to communicate the results of our decisions with every candidate individually. Therefore, only the short-listed candidates will be contacted by the HR team to invite them for written test – and the steps afterwards if they qualify i.e., interview and other assessments as deemed appropriate.
