The posting

Who is DESOTEC?

To protect the planet – that’s our mission at DESOTEC.

From air, soil and gas to water and other liquids: at DESOTEC, we purify through sustainable, mobile filter solutions based on activated carbon. Through a smart rental model, our filters are distributed to production companies all over the US. When the carbon inside of the filters is saturated, we make sure to retrieve it for reactivation. That is how we unburden our customers of the administrative, moral, logistical, and ecological consequences of their purification needs. The result: they can focus 100% on what really counts - sustainable production.

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
