What is the hiring process at Fidelity Investments?

The hiring process at Fidelity Investments is multi-faceted and arduous. It may involve some or all of the following: phone screenings, assessment tests including a mock project, presentation, and several rounds of interviews. The entire hiring process takes between one to three months depending on the position.

While it varies, most people have at least two rounds of face-to-face interviews-the first with recruiting and hiring managers, and the second with the team. Most posted positions are available immediately, but the hiring process can vary greatly in length and depends on several factors, including the skills needed and the number of qualified candidates.

Visit Fidelity Investments' career website for more information about the company and the latest job openings and descriptions. To apply, enter the Fidelity Investments career portal and fill out the online application with basic information and your particular areas of expertise.

An account must be created before the application process can begin. From there you can upload a resume and autofill your information or fill it in manually. With an account, you can elect to receive emails when a position that matches your profile is posted. Additional application questions include:

• Please share your compensation expectations for this role (base salary and/or total compensation, but please specify)

• Are you open to relocation?

• Are you open to a hybrid work model that includes time onsite in the future?

After you submit your application look for an automatic e-mail confirming that your resume was received. A recruiter should contact you if interested. As recruiters match candidates for current opportunities, you may be contacted to schedule a qualifying telephone interview in a week or two after submitting your application.

Before your assessment tests, anticipate two phone screens. Typically with the HR recruiter and hiring manager. Anticipate questions focused on your background, company fit, and general interest in working at Fidelity Investments.

If all goes well, depending on the position, you may receive an email with a link to Fidelity Investment's assessment tests. In some cases, you may be asked to complete a phone screening before the assessment test. When completing the online assessments, you will need a quiet place to concentrate to complete the test in one sitting.

You must complete all assessments within five days of being sent the assessment link. Fidelity Investments may also ask for an automated video interview, which also needs to be completed by the deadline for the assessment tests.

In some situations, depending on the position, they may also ask candidates to complete a case study. A case study is an opportunity to demonstrate your problem-solving skills. With a relatively short amount of time on your side, you are asked to read, comprehend, and summarise a large amount of information, before making a recommendation.

Make sure to structure your response, beginning with headlines of your key findings and then going explaining your rationale. They are looking for your unique perspective on the problem presented.

Another step in the hiring process may include asking candidates to come in for a group exercise, although everyone is assessed individually. Get involved and play your part in the discussion from the outset as they want to see how well you articulate your ideas in a team setting.

You don't have to be the loudest person in the room; we want people who look for shared success. Also, don't forget to manage your time. They want to see the group come to a conclusion, final decision, or outcome. Keep an eye on the clock and provide regular updates to ensure you complete the exercise within the allocated time.

The remaining interview sessions are more traditional and include one-on-one and group panels. Most interviews at Fidelity Investments are behavior-based. For example, if you mention that you're efficient, you'll be asked to provide examples from your work history that illustrate this.
