After the event, TMB participants become part of the exclusive Talent Meets Bertelsmann community, which includes almost 700 outstanding members and grows every year. It allows our talents to stay in touch with Bertelsmann and other TMB alumni via regular communication, a yearly alumni reunion in Berlin as well as regional meet-ups throughout the year.
You must be a currently-enrolled Bachelor, Master or MBA student, or a Ph. D. candidate in the field of data science, business or humanities. You need to provide proof of your proficiency in English, as the event will be held in English. You should also be enthusiastic about the media industry, entrepreneurial ideas and data. For the virtual edition, you need to be located in Europe for the entirety of the event. This ensures that everyone is in a similar time zone and that any packages, which we send you via the mail, arrive on time.
No. You are eligible to participate whether you are just beginning, in the middle or about to graduate. MBAs with some work experience are also welcome.
This year’s application phase for Talent Meets Bertelsmann will end on March 14, 2021.
We will be reviewing the applications and selecting participants during the entire application phase. Next step of the process will be an asynchronous video interview held in English. Those selected for participating in a video interview will be notified during the months of February and March, and at the latest by March 19th via e-mail. After having completed your interview, you will find out if you have been selected about two weeks before the event.
The asynchronous video interview is a new form of interview in which you, the applicant, are guided through a structured process, which you do on your own. During the interview, you answer (text-based) questions in front of your webcam while being recorded. It is asynchronous because you complete the interview independently, at a time and place of your choice, without an interviewer asking the questions.
A phone interview can only give a small glimpse into your skills and personality. You benefit greatly from the fact that we can get a more complete impression. Another advantage is your independence regarding time and place. For an asynchronous video interview, there is no need to spend a lot of time coordinating schedules for an initial appointment because it can be carried out when you and we are available, independently of each other.
Of course, you can still opt to perform a telephone interview instead.
The security of your personal data is guaranteed at every point of the selection process. The software for the asynchronous video interviews meets the highest technical and organizational security standards.
Access to the password-protected software is available only to relevant contact persons. Your data and your interview are protected from unauthorized access at all times.
