Our Process

We strive to make our recruitment process as transparent and straightforward as possible. It typically involves the following steps:

Online Application

Browse our open positions and click on the relevant link to apply.

Initial Screening

Our Talent Acquisition Team and Leaders review applications and shortlist candidates who meet the minimum criteria for the job.

Interviews

Shortlisted candidates are invited for interview. This could be online through MS Teams or we may invite you to attend an interview at one of our workspaces.

Some roles may require more than one interview, and some may include assessments or practical tasks. If you are shortlisted, the Talent Acquisition Team will collaborate with you on the interview process, so you know exactly what to expect.

Whatever your interview journey looks like, it will signpost more information about the role applied for and what life is like at Skipton. You will have the opportunity for a curious conversation where you can talk through your skills, competencies and experience plus ask any questions on your mind.

It’s important for us to get a feel for each other and how we could work together in service of our members, customers and empowering you to be at your best and thrive here.

Feedback

Successful candidates will receive a job offer and onboarding details.

As a Financial Services organisation and regulated business, we will run some pre-employment screening and vetting checks before you can join us. All offers are subject to passing these checks.

If you are not successful at interview stage, we’ll let you know the reasons for that in the hope that this feedback will be useful for future interviews.

Reasonable Adjustments

At Skipton Building Society, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and accessible recruitment process for all candidates. We understand that everyone is unique and may have different needs, so we provide reasonable adjustments to ensure a fair and equitable experience. We strive to support each candidate’s personal circumstances. If you require any adjustments during the recruitment process, please contact our Talent Acquisition team.
