Our Hiring Process

We believe a big part of our success stems from finding the right people with the right talent for the right job. Doing this not only helps create a more productive work environment, but a happier one, too. And that's why we take the time to really get to know you and for you to get to know us. It's key to creating a fulfilling work atmosphere that includes family, cultural, athletic and civic facets as well.

While there may be some differences in the Raymond James staffing process depending on which business unit you are considering, the basic elements remain the same. Here's what you can anticipate as you advance toward becoming a Raymond James associate:

1. The candidate should search and apply for the positions in which he/she is interested, possesses the requisite skills, and matches the minimum requirements of the position.
2. The Recruiter will review and identify those candidates whose skills and experiences match the job requirements as detailed in the job description.
3. Those candidates who have the experience and skills that best match the role will be selected to continue through the process.
4. Candidates chosen to move forward in the interview process will be notified by a Raymond James recruiter regarding the next steps in the process. Please note: We utilize a variety of assessments, depending on which function you are interviewing for. Some examples include behavioral-based interviewing, interpersonal testing and cognitive ability testing, among others.
5. As there may be slight variations in the interview/screening process with each opportunity, the recruiter will communicate the process and interview timeline for the position.
6. If Raymond James is able to extend an offer, please note that a criminal background check must be initiated for all external hires or rehires prior to start date. Candidates are required to complete an I-9 form prior to the designated start date in order to verify eligibility to work in the United States. Please note: Applicants being hired by certain business units may also be required to complete additional compliance checks prior to the start date (for example: a credit check, education and employment verification check, FBI fingerprint check, a motor vehicle record check, etc.).
7. If a candidate is not selected to continue in the hiring process for a particular job opening, the candidate is encouraged to continue to search the Raymond James career website and to apply to any other positions that fit his/her background and experience and for which the minimum qualifications are met.
