Step 1 — Application & Initial Review

Start by creating an account and applying through our careers site. Once you submit, our Talent Acquisition team takes a close look at your skills, your background, and how your experience aligns with what the role requires.

Step 2 — Recruiter Interview

If your experience is a strong match, a recruiter will reach out to schedule an initial conversation. This is a two-way street. It’s a chance for you to learn more about the role and Nelnet, share your background and career goals, and ask the questions that matter to you. We want to make sure it’s the right fit for both of us.

Step 3 — Team Interview

Candidates who move forward will participate in interviews with the hiring team. Depending on the role, this may include one conversation or several. They may be virtual or on-site. Throughout this stage we’ll focus on your experience and skills, how you approach problem-solving, and your alignment with the team and role. Interviews are designed to be structured and consistent, helping ensure a fair and thoughtful process for every candidate.

Step 4 — Decision & Offer

Once interviews are complete, our team reviews feedback and identifies the candidate who best aligns with the role. If that’s you, your recruiter will reach out with a verbal offer followed by a formal offer letter outlining the role, compensation, and next steps. This is the part we love most.

Step 5 — Onboarding

Once you’ve accepted your offer, we’ll guide you through everything you need to prepare for your first day, including background checks and required documentation, key information about your start and training, and getting set up with the tools and equipment you’ll need. Our recruiting specialists are here every step of the way.
