Frequently asked questions

We want to invite creative and proactive people to the competition, so information about the field of study, participation in student organizations or volunteering, knowledge of programs and applications, and level of foreign language proficiency are important. If you have first professional experience - brag about it and describe your tasks and responsibilities in previous places of work.

No, it is not necessary. English is verified during the interview with the recruiter.

Recruitment consists of 2 stages: first, the candidate fills in the application form, and then selected people will be invited to an interview with our recruitment department, during which English language skills will also be verified. 30 people will qualify for the spring bootcamp, from whom we will create groups to work on projects.

 

 

Yes, during the bootcamp your team will be assigned a Mentor who will support you in working on your project.

The competition will last about half a year. At the end of May, we are planning a 2-day bootcamp in Warsaw and - apart from the Final Gala - it will be the only stationary event where presence will be required. You organize work on projects independently in groups and in cooperation with your Mentor - the number of hours and online meetings will depend on you, so that you can make it to the final presentation to the jury at the end of September.

Yes, we provide accommodation and meals – we only do not reimburse travel costs to stationary events.

We are open to cooperation with participants of the Young Talents 4 Biedronka program, but a lot depends on the company's business needs and current recruitment. The winners of the competition will have the opportunity to take advantage of accelerated recruitment for Biedronka's talent programs: Management Trainee and Owocne Wakacje.
