Johnson & Johnson announced plans to separate our Orthopaedics business to establish a standalone orthopaedics company, operating as DePuy Synthes. The process of the planned separation is anticipated to be completed within 18 to 24 months, subject to legal requirements, including consultation with works councils and other employee representative bodies, as may be required, regulatory approvals and other customary conditions and approvals.

Should you accept this position, it is anticipated that, following conclusion of the transaction, you would be an employee of DePuy Synthes and your employment would be governed by DePuy Synthes employment processes, programs, policies, and benefit plans. In that case, details of any planned changes would be provided to you by DePuy Synthes at an appropriate time and subject to any necessary consultation processes.  

At Johnson & Johnson, we want every candidate to feel supported throughout the hiring process. Our goal is to make the experience clear, fair, and respectful of your time.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Application review: We’ll carefully review your CV to see how your skills and experience align with the role.

• Interviews with the team: If you move forward, you’ll meet with the hiring manager (and possibly others on the team) in one or two interview rounds, depending on the role.

• Staying informed: We know waiting can be hard, so our recruitment team will keep you updated and make sure you know what to expect at each step.

• Final steps: For successful candidates, you will need to complete country-specific checks before starting your new role. We will help guide you through these.

At the end of the process, we’ll also invite you to share feedback in a short survey — your input helps us continue improving the experience for future candidates.
