SELECTION OF EMPLOYEES
We consider the process of selecting our employees to be very important, as they make a huge contribution to our joint success.
We are not only interested in the technical skills you possess – we also take your soft skills into account. But most of all, it is important that our shared values and ideas are aligned – because only then will we become an unbeatable team. So that you can also more effectively assess whether we are a good match, it is useful if you do a bit of preparation in advance. Below you will find our application tips, which will guide you through the application process and prepare you for any future interviews.
Application Tips
Preparation is everything
Find out more about our company and ask yourself whether you can identify with our values, philosophy and product. It would be helpful to start by thinking about which values matter to you and what you want from your future employer. This will help you to learn more about yourself and KTM AG and get a better feel for how compatible we could be.
Have fun!
Your first step toward going full throttle. We would like to get to know you better during the interview and get a first impression of the real you.
Tell us about your personal experiences, qualifications and knowledge and don’t forget: have fun! We would really like to have a relaxed conversation with you.
Be yourself
We want you to feel at ease during our first conversation. “Racing suits, not business suits” – that’s our motto! Our tip: Choose an outfit appropriate for the situation, but above all, one that suits you. A well-groomed appearance is of course an important requirement.
Are you nervous?
We know that a job interview is not an everyday situation, but there is no need to be nervous.
Often, a friendly approach can have a really positive impact on a conversation.
Just be yourself, and you will see that your nervousness will quickly fade.
Be curious
Don’t forget: We will get to know one another – so we’ll introduce ourselves too! We encourage you to ask questions, be curious and swap ideas with us. Showing an interest also demonstrates to us that you are motivated and helps you to get a good impression of the company.
Recruiting ProCess:
- Are you ready for your personal qualifying? Apply online in just a few seconds and submit your CV. You have already taken the first turn.
- After about a week of pre-selection, you will receive initial feedback and your next challenge is a pitstop with a recruiting partner and the department.
- You can impress us in digital or personal pitstops, work samples or an assessment center. The process of the qualifying varies depending on the divison and position. You will also have the opportunity to get to know the world of KTM AG and your future team.
- As a new member, we will help you to feel “at home” as quickly as possible. With the help of digital training and presentations, you will gain a deep insight into the company even before the “Welcome Day”. During your onboarding phase, you will be assigned a buddy from your department who will give you support and guidance. On an Experience Day, you will get to know the different divisons within the company (including the production divisons) as part of a guided tour. We will stand with you at the grid – so you can get a perfect race start.
We’re always on the lookout for talent! In our own KTM AG talent pool, we take on interesting applicants and can then actively approach you for potential positions. This means that even if we don´t have a suitable job advertised for you yet , it´s worth sending us a speculative application.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BECOMING PART OF KTM AG, THEN YOU’VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE.
Recommendation from Recruiting
A professionally designed and carefully considered resume is the first step toward a successful application. This should have a clear central theme that matches the position advertised. If you like, you can also send us a letter of motivation, which gives you the opportunity to show your interest and enthusiasm. Here you can really demonstrate why you are the right person for the job by explaining your expectations of the position and giving specific examples. In a one-to-one, you can win us over by showing that you have thought about the company and the position in advance, and by asking specific questions.
Be yourself!
You definitely don’t need a business outfit to impress us. It’s much more important to us that you are someone with an authentic demeanor with whom we can have a good conversation, as equals. Nervousness is natural at these kinds of meetings, but is really not necessary. I look forward to getting to know you and to having an honest discussion with you.

In order to comply with the data protection guidelines and yet ensure fast processing times, we only ask for an online application via our KTM AG career portal. Here, you can upload your own individual application documents (CV, letter of motivation, certificates, photo). You’ll receive an automatically generated confirmation e-mail when you have completed the process successfully.
Please send us a separate application for each position you are interested in. We are then happy to check which position might be the most appropriate from our perspective.
Our job platform is continually updated. This means that all advertised positions are vacant, although the filling status naturally varies from position to position.
We offer you the opportunity to get to know our company better during the summer vacation (July–September). The application period for vacation internships is exclusively from the end of December to the end of March. Please apply via our online platform under “Job openings”. We shall notify you of any potential work opportunities by the end of April. Summer internships are possible in a range of specialist areas. Please specify the area which would interest you most in your letter of application.
KTM AG participates in career fairs on an ongoing basis. If you would like to talk to our company representatives, then our recruiting team looks forward to meeting you when you visit our career fair stand. Further information about the career fair dates is available here.
To submit an application to our company, you need a CV, but also a convincing letter of motivation and relevant references. Please ensure that your application also indicates which area you wish to work in.
You will receive an automatically generated confirmation email as soon as you have successfully completed the online application. If we need any extra information or documents from you, we’ll contact you by e-mail or phone. Following a preselection phase (usually 1 week), you’ll receive feedback from us. For unsolicited applications, it may take three to four weeks before you receive feedback from us.
If you have enclosed all relevant information with the application documents already, then nothing else in particular needs to be taken to the interview. We are looking forward to meeting good candidates who are interested, motivated, and ready to get started!

KTM AG regularly offers internships and the possibility of writing your Bachelor’s/Master’s thesis in cooperation with us in a wide range of specialist areas.
