Our Candidate’s Journey
Dreaming of joining our Purple Team? Our Trainee Program’s application process is designed
to be seamless and transparent, ensuring a smooth journey ahead.
Here's a step-by-step
breakdown:
1. Online Application
Complete the online application form, in which there are specific questions prompting you to outline your favourite areas and the ones you prefer to avoid within your field.
2. Automatic Screening
If you appear not to meet the pre-defined eligibility criteria, you should receive an automated message providing an explanation.
3. Manual Validation
Candidates identified as eligible for a full-time internship will be analyzed based on their academic background and either be added to the list of candidates for a given perimeter (IT, Banking and Support Functions) or be informed that additional information is required to determine if their degrees are aligned with the vacancies Natixis is allowed to create (for example, as Natixis is not an Ocean Research Institute, we cannot request vacancies for marine biologists).
4. Exposure to the Team Members
Candidates grouped into relevant matches with our main areas of expertise will be shortlisted and shared with the appropriate Teams. Following this, either a member of the Human Resources Team may reach out to schedule a conversation with the Team or the Team may directly contact you.
There’s no need to be nervous, as the purpose of these conversations is to evaluate whether the specific project and planned tasks would seem motivating for you.
5. Interview and Follow-up
Congratulations! Either a Team demonstrated interest in moving forward with you or you’ll be given the opportunity to meet other Teams. If the Team would like to proceed, you’ll receive an e-mail with the good news, letting you know the team won’t be meeting additional candidates.
6. Admission
After a match between a candidate and a Team is found, the documentation phase is triggered. This phase is when all the paperwork is taken care of.
7. Tech & Banking Skills Accelerator
Once your admission process is finalized, you will be enrolled in one of our full-time Tech &
Banking Skills Accelerators. This crucial step in your Natixis journey involves participating
in comprehensive Training Academies designed to enhance your academic background
with practical skills, ensuring a smooth learning curve when joining our Teams.
The Accelerators typically consist of approx. 2 months of "Classroom" Training, where you
will learn from Natixis global experts, followed by around 3 months of "On-the-job" Training
within your Natixis Team. During the "Classroom" Training, you will explore essential
industry topics, while the "On-the-job" Training will provide hands-on experience, ensuring
you gain practical skills relevant to your future role.
This 5-month training period is structured to centralize the common learning experiences
identified in previous campaigns, fostering a more efficient and cohesive learning
environment, instead of each Trainee learning in separate contexts, during their own
project.
8. Onboarding
Natixis in Portugal hosts an Onboarding day to warmly welcome newcomers. During these sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about our organization, immerse yourself in Natixis culture and discover the purple way of doing things.
9. Full-time Internship
Following the completion of the Accelerator Academies, you will transition into a 6-month
Full-time Internship within the Team, where you can apply what you've learned in a real-
world setting and gain invaluable experience as a Natixis professional. This is your
opportunity to kickstart your career with us and make meaningful contributions to our
organization.
