How to apply

You will receive confirmation of receipt of your application for a vacancy as soon as possible. The recruiter or HR staff member will review your application and present it to the manager/vacancy-holder concerned. If an assessment forms a part of the application procedure, this will be stated in the vacancy text. The closing date for applying for a vacancy, if applicable, will also be stated in the vacancy text. Your application will naturally be treated confidentially.
If your application is reviewed positively, we will contact you to make an appointment for an initial interview.

You are allowed to apply for more than one vacancy at once at Rabobank. If you are interested in a vacant position at different local member banks, you must send a separate application for each vacant position. You may also inform the concerned recruiter or HR adviser of your interest in applying for other vacant positions. He or she will have an up-to-date overview of alternative opportunities within the bank.

If your application is rejected, we will send you a confirmation and an explanation or the reasons for turning down your application.

The closing date for applying for a vacancy, if applicable, is stated in the vacancy text.

In accordance with Dutch legislation and regulations, all financial institutions, such as banks and (pension) insurers are required to screen employees prior to commencement of employment in an integrity-sensitive position.

Within the framework of the regulations, screening is defined as ascertaining whether an applicant is sufficiently trustworthy to hold a specific position.

The regulation also applies to temporary employees, such as employees hired temporarily via an employment agency, seconded employees and interim managers.
The basic procedure entails gathering information regarding an applicant. This information includes proof of identity, earned diplomas and degrees, references from employers from the past two years and a statement from the applicant. We also conduct a check to determine whether the applicant appears in the EVA system or the incident register of the Rabobank. The Regulation also covers providing information regarding (former) employees who apply to other institutions.

This is naturally all carried out within the confines set by privacy legislation. For this reason an applicant must always provide his or her prior written consent for screening.
 
* EVA is the External Referral Application that shares data on an inter-bank basis regarding persons who have committed fraudulent acts at those banks. The Incident Register is the register of persons who have caused an incident at Rabobank. VIS (Verification Information System) is the register of stolen or forged proofs of identity.
