Making a purpose-driven impact, that's our difference

Our recruitment process

We know how much time and energy you put into a job search. We are committed to delivering a purposeful and efficient recruitment process that allows you to personally experience our culture and see why Nedbank is a great place to work.

Profile and application

The first step in our process is for you to register and create a profile to apply for career opportunities at Nedbank.

Search for open careers at Nedbank by keyword, job category and/or location. We recommend looking for roles that align with your experience and ensuring you meet the minimum qualifications, which are required for consideration. 

Join our talent network

Our Talent Community is a network of individuals like yourself who are interested in building a career at Nedbank. Once you have joined our Talent Community, we’ll be able to send you job alerts and the latest news at Nedbank.

Application review

The second step is a recruiter reviewing your application. After we have received your application, we will review your experience and skills. If your background aligns with our current needs, you will be contacted by phone or email on the next steps. If your experience and skills do not match the role in question, we will also keep your information in our system for consideration as future job opportunities arise.

Assessments and interviews

The third step is an interview and assessments. If your background aligns with our current needs, you will be contacted by phone or email to schedule an online video interview. This will be done via our partner platform, Hirevue. You will be given several questions to answer as an initial indication of whether you are the right person for the job.

If you are among the most competitive applicants for the job, you will be contacted by phone or email to schedule an initial phone interview with a recruiter. During the interview, the recruiter will ask questions to better understand your experience and qualifications. You will also have an opportunity to learn more about the role and working at Nedbank. We recommend that you review the job description and information about Nedbank and prepare any questions you may have before your interview. Once phone interviews have been completed, you might be invited to participate in additional interviews. 

Our interview teams commonly include the hiring manager, Human Resources, and other managers related to the open position. If you are contacted for in-person interviews, you will receive additional information regarding the location and duration of the interview. Generally, most of our interview questions are behavioural questions, meaning we’ll ask you to identify specific examples of actions you’ve taken in the past. You can prepare for your interview by reflecting on specific experiences you’ve had and being ready to share what you did, why you did it, what the result was, and what you learnt.

The selection process for many of our available job opportunities includes an assessment. Depending on the job, the assessment may take place before, during, or after the interview process and may be administered online or in-person. If the position requires an assessment, you will be notified and provided instructions during the recruitment process. Nedbank conducts what is called 'pre-employment' verification checks. These can include criminal background checks, driving-record check, education verification, employment verification and reference check. Before doing any of these background checks, we will ask for your written consent and permission.

Getting an offer

So, we're ready to make you an offer!

After having successfully completed all the required steps and documents, our recruiting team will contact you to confirm your start date, and your manager will communicate additional details, including start time. If you are currently employed or have other obligations, be sure to communicate your availability to the recruiter and hiring manager throughout the process. 

You will have an opportunity to complete onboarding activities on our HR system, SuccessFactors, before your first day. These onboarding activities include reviewing personal information, providing emergency contact information and selecting your employee benefits (depending on your contract of employment). During this stage, you will also be contacted by your buddy, who’ll be your go-to person during your first few weeks and months at Nedbank. Your buddy will also be the person that meets you at one of our receptions on your first day. Your line manager will help initiate meetings with co-workers and clients, and familiarise you with key responsibilities of your new role. The length of your onboarding period will depend on your role. Welcome to the green side!
