foodora Sweden Recruitment: Alva Labs Tests
foodora, part of the Delivery Hero group, puts Alva Labs psychometric tests early in hiring for some office and operations roles. What its ads list, step by step
What foodora’s ads say
foodora is part of the Delivery Hero group, and its Stockholm vacancies are posted on Delivery Hero’s SmartRecruiters site. Some of them spell out the recruitment process step by step, with Alva Labs named. Two examples:
In both, the tests come before you speak to a hiring manager. The Sales Manager role asks for fluent Swedish and English and some sales experience, and calls a driving licence a strong advantage. The Junior Area Manager role ran part of foodora’s rider operations in Stockholm and asked for a relevant degree, experience leading a team, Swedish and English, and a driving licence.
How foodora’s recruiter describes it
A foodora recruiter wrote about the company’s use of Alva Labs in a story Alva published on its own blog, describing the period from November 2020 in the Nordic market. Her account: the “combination of logic and personality tests gives us more objective insight into candidates”, and Alva’s role-fit score “helps us identify those who we want to move forward with in the process.” After that, foodora moves to structured interviews and relevant work samples, which matches the case interview in the ads.
That account is vendor-hosted and a few years old, so treat it as the background to the ads, not a promise about your process.
The two tests
- Logic Test. Alva’s matrix test: one puzzle at a time, a two-minute limit on each, adaptive, and no going back. A task that times out counts as wrong. Our abstract reasoning guide explains matrix rules.
- Personality Test. Untimed statements about how you work, rated 1 to 5. Our personality test guide covers the format.
Because the role-fit score helps decide who moves forward, the logic test is the part where practice pays most.
Preparing for the case interview
foodora’s ads say only “Do your magic and show us your skills!” and do not publish the case, so we cannot tell you its content. A sensible guess is a problem from the role itself: winning and growing restaurant partners for sales, riders and delivery times for operations. Either way, state your assumptions, put numbers on them, and finish with a recommendation. For the first interview, prepare examples with the STAR method.
