A recruiter will review your application to determine potential next steps. If you are identified to move forward in the hiring process, you will be contacted to coordinate next steps.
What are you looking for in
candidates?
During the recruiting process, HR searches for candidates who will be able to meet BankFund's service level goals by applying our Mission (serving the unique lifetime financial needs of our membership by delivering a superior member experience) and Vision (complete member satisfaction at every interaction) in every interaction with members and staff. This can be achieved by channeling the candidate's overall experience, but also through our comprehensive training program. Every staff member is responsible for fulfilling our Service PACT (Proactive, Accountable, Connected and Trustworthy) and living our values.
