When you join the UBS Jumpstart program, you’ll be driving impact from day one. What surprised me the most was how closely the senior leaders interacted with junior talents. They would share the vision and future goals of UBS, and they would always be eager to listen to our fresh ideas and opinions. One of the strategic ideas that I proposed was actively implemented into the bank, and as a junior talent, you cannot feel any prouder by seeing what impact you’re making.
Brian, Private Markets Advisory & Sales
I was very lucky to join UBS under the SUPER program as part of the pioneer cohort in 2020. I’m grateful to the program for allowing me to explore various roles, network with colleagues across the bank and also for allowing fresh grads the chance to upskill in the form of various trainings. Since joining in 2020, I’ve had the chance to join teams in Human Resources, Global Wealth Management and Integration and I look forward to continuing exploring different opportunities within the bank.

How to apply

Our process is designed to be objective and fair. We want everyone to have equal chances to drive recruitment success. Recruitment stages may differ slightly (according to program and region).

We make it very easy to apply, just submit an online application and upload your CV/resume.

Since we don’t ask for cover letters in most regions, let your CV do all the talking to reflect who you are. We want to hear about your hobbies, your interests, academic achievements, work experience and what you’ve learned from these experiences.

Be sure to check out our ten step interactive roadmap to recruitment readiness.

Everyone is welcome at UBS. And we’re committed to disability inclusion and making sure our application process is accessible for everyone. If you need reasonable accommodation/adjustments throughout our recruitment process, you can always contact us.

We have four types of online assessments:

Verbal reasoning
Numerical reasoning
UBS Culture Match

The assessments you’re assigned will be dependent on the business area you’re applying to. They need to be completed within seven days of receiving the invitation email. Please note, you won’t be able to complete the assessments after the deadline. You also won’t be able to retake them, so make sure you can focus.

AON’s website offers some practice assessments.

Why do companies use online assessments?

The abilities and behaviors we learn about from them are a great way to get unbiased information about the candidate.

What are the verbal or numerical reasoning tests about?

These look at how you draw logical conclusions from complex verbal or numerical information from tables and charts.

And the inductive-logical reasoning test?

This is a fun one. You’ll be looking at logical rules in patterns and then applying them to different sets of patterns.

Our UBS Culture Match

Realistic, hypothetical work scenarios where you need to pick the most effective course of action, in line with our UBS principles and behaviors.

After passing our online assessments (and if you’re a good fit), you might receive a link to record your video interview. This is where you can make a great first impression. Dress smartly, keep good eye contact with the camera and be concise.

Worried employers are using AI to review submissions? Rest assured; our people are the ones making decisions around here.

Almost there! The last stage of the process is our final round virtual or in-person interviews.

Be sure to research UBS and the business area you’re applying to. Go beyond the facts and figures.

Also, don’t be afraid to ask us questions during the interview. Let’s get a conversation going. When you speak about your experiences, give us examples and tell us a story. The outcomes, opportunities and what you might have done differently. As assessors, we want to connect with you.
