The AFRY hiring process at a glance

  2. 2Interviews — Meet the team online or in person.
  3. 3References and possible tests — Requirements vary by position; some tests can occur earlier.Assessment evidence
  4. 4Offer and onboarding — Successful candidates receive an offer and employment contract.

What to expect in the AFRY assessment

Prepare for the assessment you are actually invited to take. A statement that some positions use tests does not identify a cognitive test battery or game format.

Good to know: No specific AFRY game is mapped to practice here. If a proficiency exercise is named, revise that skill; if a personality questionnaire is named, read its instructions and answer consistently about your own working preferences.

Which AFRY roles and programs does this guide cover?

AFRY hires engineers, project managers, and advisors. Its careers material emphasizes technical contribution, client work, and collaboration, so the most useful preparation starts with the kind of work you want to do: engineering delivery, project coordination, digital development, or advisory analysis.

Keep the business unit and location attached to any interview advice you find. A Swedish graduate consulting assignment and a German experienced engineering vacancy have different published guidance. Neither should be treated as a template for every AFRY candidate.

Germany: the local recruitment route

AFRY Germany requests a CV, a cover letter including salary expectations, and education or employment certificates. Its process includes an initial interview and a second conversation to meet further team members.

AFRY Future Graduate Program in Sweden

Future places recent engineering graduates in client assignments while AFRY provides coaching and support. The program highlights industrial, IT, and digital work, including production engineering, junior project management, purchasing, logistics, and R&D. Continued employment with AFRY or the client is described as a possibility after a successful assignment, not a guaranteed outcome.

Students and other graduate entry points

AFRY also advertises entry-level roles, trainee programs, and thesis projects. Internship and summer-job availability depends on the team and location. The students page directs candidates to the Student Assignments & Thesis Work category for many student opportunities, so check the actual posting rather than assuming a company-wide annual scheme.

No confirmed universal test product

No evidence found

The reviewed employer sources do not establish a universal vendor, game lineup, numerical cutoff, or retake policy. A vacancy may give more specific requirements than the general guide.

What happens in the AFRY hiring process?

Germany: prepare for a two-way discussion

The German page centers its interviews on understanding the candidate and clarifying the role.

  1. 1Provide the requested documents through the careers portal; qualifications are screened with the relevant department.
  2. 2Use the first conversation to explain the experience and knowledge relevant to the advertisement.
  3. 3A further conversation introduces more colleagues. Prepare questions about responsibilities, working relationships, and how success would be assessed.
  4. 4Clarify practical expectations such as availability and compensation before evaluating an eventual offer.

Swedish Future: selection for a client assignment

The Future programme recruits against actual assignments rather than a fixed semester intake.

  1. 1Apply to an advertised role matching your engineering background and interests.
  2. 2Candidates are reviewed as applications arrive, followed by interviews, possible tests, and references.
  3. 3When preparing, distinguish the client assignment from the coaching relationship with AFRY. Consider what you would need to learn at each organization.

How to prepare for the AFRY assessment process

Use the advertisement to choose what to rehearse. These preparation suggestions illustrate how to show relevant competence; they are not confirmed AFRY interview questions.

1. Build a technical evidence sheet

For each essential requirement, identify a project, task, or course where you used the skill. Record your own contribution, a technical decision, a check you performed, and the result. Be ready to explain an unfamiliar technical concept without relying on software screenshots or jargon.

2. Connect values to observable actions

AFRY names Brave, Devoted, and Team Players as its values. As practice, choose examples of challenging an assumption constructively, persisting through a difficult delivery problem, and working with someone from another discipline. Explain what changed because of your actions rather than reciting the value names.

3. Practice a client-facing explanation

Choose one engineering or advisory problem relevant to the role. Deliver a short explanation covering the client’s objective, evidence, options, recommendation, and uncertainty. Then practice answering a follow-up that changes one assumption. This develops useful communication without assuming a formal case interview.

4. Prepare for the assignment’s working context

For a Future role, think through how you would join an unfamiliar client team, learn its tools, and seek feedback. For an experienced position, prepare examples of coordinating interfaces, managing scope changes, and handling a quality issue before delivery. Keep the examples proportional to your actual responsibility.

AFRY assessment FAQ

Does everyone take an AFRY assessment test?

No universal test is stated. The general guide makes tests conditional on the position.

Which test provider does AFRY use?

The reviewed sources do not identify one provider covering these routes. Check your invitation before selecting vendor-specific practice.

Is Future a fixed annual graduate intake?

The Swedish program recruits throughout the year for specific assignments. An individual vacancy can still have its own deadline.

Can a student apply without joining Future?

Yes. AFRY’s student guidance also describes thesis projects and some internships or summer jobs, with availability determined locally.

What is the best interview preparation?

Prepare concrete evidence of the advertised skills and a clear explanation of your contribution. Practice discussing technical limitations and prepare questions that help you understand the actual team and assignment.
