HHLA uses a structured selection process (SSP) to fill vacant positions. This can take place individually or in a group and usually includes a case study, a simulated discussion and an interview (individual SSP) or a personal presentation and group discussion (group SSP). This allows us to compare your professional knowledge and experience with the requirements of the position. In addition to professional skills, we will also evaluate whether team members fit together.
