The road to becoming a junior consultant at Emixa

With 530 employees across Europe, Emixa is a significant player in digital transformation. The organization specializes in management consulting, lifecycle management, and the organization, construction, and implementation of digital systems for the manufacturing industry.

Before joining Emixa, Job worked for over two years as a recruitment consultant, a role closely related to his studies in Applied Cognitive Psychology.

Job found his way to Emixa through a tip from a friend who already worked there. “I felt a good connection during my first interview, and it’s only gotten better since.”
