To make sure your application gets to the right person, it must be linked to a specific vacancy via our Job Search section. Therefore, it’s best to first apply to a specific role with your preferred social media profile (i.e. LinkedIn) or by submitting your CV/resume. A recruiter will then contact you if your profile is assessed as a potential fit for the role.

To ensure fairness and legal compliance in our recruitment processes, we only accept CV/resumes (or links to social media profiles such as LinkedIn) that are sent when applying to a specific vacancy on our Job Search section. We do not review or respond to unsolicited resume submissions via email.

If you have applied for a job at Philips via our Job Search section, you will receive an automated e-mail response confirming receipt of your application. Note that our goal is to keep valued candidates like you informed of your status throughout the recruitment process. However, due to the large volume of applications we receive, we are unable to personally respond to each one every time. If you meet the job profile requirements, you will be contacted directly by a recruiter for an interview.

You can always track the status of your application online independently by logging in to your account on the Careers at Philips section on our website. Once on the page, select the “Sign in” button as shown below.

There are 3 major phases in the hiring process – Application & First Assessment, Interviews and Decisions. More details can be found on “Our recruitment process” page of our Careers website.

First, we consider the qualifications required by the role compared to those outlined in your completed application. Qualifications include, but are not limited to education, certifications, past work experience, and skills. One of Philips’ core values as a company is acting with integrity. As such, we are committed to role modeling fair and inclusive hiring practices while acting in accordance to all local market regulations and labor laws.

We would be very happy to consider your application again: to show your interest in a specific role and make sure your profile is considered, submit a separate application for each role you are interested in via our Job Search section.

We have been notified of a number of incidents of people or organizations falsely claiming to recruit on behalf of Philips. It has come to our attention that these people or organizations are sending invitations for an interview and then asking money to be sent to a bank account. They make unauthorized use of the Philips letterhead in their communications. Please note that Philips has not authorized any such correspondence, and that Philips has no agreement with these parties. Philips will never ask for any kind of financial payment in connection to or exchange for a job interview. Please note that any requests of such nature are fraudulent and should not be pursued.

Philips advises candidates to remain alert of any suspicious communications. In case of doubt, you can always visit our Job Search section to check if the vacancy being referenced to in the correspondence is listed or forward the communication to phishing@philips.com for appropriate follow-up.
