For our Experienced Hire recruitment, the process varies by country or role, but your CV will initially be reviewed by one of our recruitment team and the relevant hiring manager. If you are progressed, you can expect technical and competency-based interviews and an HR interview. Sometimes the process will include online tests or case study work along the way.

We believe that global performance depends on local performance. Because success is often initiated by people who really know the local markets, BNP Paribas has developed a decentralised business model. Activities are managed locally, and managers are also hired locally. In other words, BNP Paribas is a “multinational” company rather than a globalised one. On a day-to-day basis, this means more scope and creativity for employees.

Our Company Purpose is to contribute to a responsible and sustainable economy by financing and advising clients according to the highest ethical standards. Therefore, BNP Paribas implements a Social and Environmental Responsibility approach in all its activities, enabling it to contribute to the construction of a sustainable future, while ensuring the Group’s performance and stability. For more information on how we are actioning this, and how you could be involved as an employee at the Bank, view our Sustainable Finance page.
