What to Expect After Your Interview

The process from here varies by role, but one thing stays consistent: we’ll keep you informed every step of the way. Here’s a look at what typically comes next, from additional interviews and hiring decisions to offers and onboarding.

What Happens Next Depends on the Role

Every hiring process at Nelnet looks a little different. Some roles move quickly with a single interview round. Others involve multiple conversations with hiring managers or other team members. Your recruiter will walk you through what to expect for your specific position.

After Your Recruiter Interview

Your first conversation with Nelnet is always an interview with a recruiter. If things are a strong match, you'll hear about next steps, which could include additional interviews or a skills assessment, depending on the role. Interviews may be virtual or on-site.

After Your Team Interview

Once interviews are complete, our team will make a hiring decision. If you're selected, your recruiter will call with an offer, followed by an official offer letter through Workday.

If You're Not Selected

Not every candidate moves forward — and that's not always a reflection of your qualifications. If you are not selected, you can expect to hear from us via email with a status update. If this one isn't the right fit, we encourage you to keep an eye on other openings. Your story with Nelnet doesn't have to end here."

A Note on Timing

Hiring timelines vary by role and volume of candidates. If you're wondering about your status, your recruiter is always the right person to ask.

Don't Stop Here

Whether this role is the one or the next one is still out there — we're glad you're here. Browse current openings and keep writing your story.
