Allianz SE has an in-house recruitment team that sources great candidates directly. Therefore, Allianz SE does not accept unsolicited resumes from agency or search firm recruiters.

When we do work with recruitment agencies, that engagement is formalized by a contract. Fees will only be paid when there is a contract in place. Without a contract in place, we will not accept invoices on unsolicited resumes, even if the candidate was ultimately employed by Allianz.

Finally, please do not contact hiring managers directly.
