Learning and development

The more you know

Aside from the experience you’ll gain in your role, we believe additional opportunities to grow should be open to everyone. This can be through job shadowing, a carefully designed curriculum or our UBS University. We care about development.

How we hire

Apply online

Applying has never been easier. Start with searching our job board . You can submit your CV directly or import your LinkedIn profile. Focus on applying for jobs that match your talents by carefully reading the overview and qualification information. Keep in mind that you can only apply for up to five jobs a month.

Online assessments

Depending on the role you have applied for, we might ask you to complete one or more online assessments. Be sure to check your email for the invitations and their deadlines.

What do our assessments look like?

UBS Culture Match: You’ll be presented with realistic work scenarios to see how well  our culture and values complement your approach. You can learn about our purpose, culture and our three keys to success here.

Cognitive Assessments: Numerical and verbal reasoning measures your ability to draw logical conclusions from complex information. Logical reasoning will ask you to find logical rules in patterns of symbols and apply them to a different set of patterns. Where possible, be sure to complete tutorials and/or practice questions before you start. Prepare for AON assessments here.

Coding Challenges: For technical roles, you may be asked to solve coding challenges with real-time feedback powered by HackerRank. Prepare for HackerRank challenges here. You might be asked to participate in a technical interview within an interactive environment, done by our hiring team.

Video Interviews: For most roles, we use a one-way video interview platform during the screening process. Video interviews can be completed at a time and place that’s convenient for you. Don’t worry though, you can record as many practice interviews as you would like before completing the real one. Read our tips for nailing your video interview here. For FAQs and troubleshooting, discover more about Sonru video interviews here.

Face-to-face, (or, screen-to-screen)

The final stage of the selection process is a series of virtual or face-to-face interviews held at one of our offices. You'll have a chance to meet your future line manager and potentially senior leaders in the business. Give us a glimpse into your personality, capabilities, and compatibility with your desired position. Here's your chance to market yourself, so let your personality shine and make a lasting impression on us.

COVID-19 note: virtual interview. Don't worry if not everything works out as planned (technical, background noise, etc.) – we understand (and are in the same situation).

Here’s a few tips from us:

  • Prepare. Think about the typical questions that could come up in an interview, and what your responses would be. Having a few key points in your head that you’d want to get across is a great way to prepare.
  • Practice. Practicing with a friend or family member will give your confidence a boost before your next interview with us.
  • Persuade. Showing a level of knowledge that matches your years of experience will go a long way towards convincing us you’re right for the role (as well as asking questions).
  • Know our people. Attend one of our events to meet us (if available). Or read more about Life at UBS. Get a sense of who we are, how we operate as an organization, and what our priorities are.
  • Be open and honest. We want to know about your ideas. We’re also curious about your interests and experiences, and what you’ve learned from them. Who you are is important to us, so let us see the real you. If you don’t know something, just say so. The ability to ask when you don’t know is a strength, while bluffing is a weakness.
  • Listen and think. Take your time when answering. Repeating or rephrasing the question, or asking for clarification, can be a good way to help you compose your thoughts.

A perfect match

After the interviews, we’ll reach out to you with feedback as soon as possible. If it’s good news, we might ask you for some extra information (credit checks, referrals, etc.), so we can finish up the final screening process.
