Do you have a contact or email address where I can send my CV/resume?: To ensure fairness and legal compliance in our recruitment processes, we only accept CV/resumes (or links to social media profiles such as LinkedIn) that are sent when applying to a specific vacancy on our Job Search section. We do not review or respond to unsolicited resume submissions via email.

Note that our goal is to keep valued candidates like you informed of your status throughout the recruitment process. However, due to the large volume of applications we receive, we are unable to personally respond to each one every time. If you meet the job profile requirements, you will be contacted directly by a recruiter for an interview.

You can always track the status of your application online independently by logging in to your account on the Careers at Philips section on our website. Once on the page, select the “Sign in” button as shown below.

As such, we are committed to role modeling fair and inclusive hiring practices while acting in accordance to all local market regulations and labor laws.

They make unauthorized use of the Philips letterhead in their communications. Please note that Philips has not authorized any such correspondence, and that Philips has no agreement with these parties. Philips will never ask for any kind of financial payment in connection to or exchange for a job interview. Please note that any requests of such nature are fraudulent and should not be pursued.

Philips advises candidates to remain alert of any suspicious communications. In case of doubt, you can always visit our Job Search section to check if the vacancy being referenced to in the correspondence is listed or forward the communication to phishing@philips.com for appropriate follow-up.
