The Hiring Process


Step One

After applying for one of the available jobs in our Careers listings, your completed application, chronological resume, and cover letter are sent to our professional Recruiting team. Our team personally reviews each submitted application and determines an appropriate fit.

Step Two

Qualified applicants will be contacted by one of the members of our Recruiting team, who will reach out to discuss potential opportunities via a phone screen appointment and/or Video Interview. This Recruiter will be your point of contact during the hiring process and will be happy to answer any questions you may have about this process, benefits, and more. 

Step Three

Any candidates being considered for a position are required to have a soft credit report pulled as part of working at a financial institution. This does not impact on your credit score and must be authorized by you before we proceed.

Step Four

If you meet all of the above criteria, you will be asked to interview! Your interview(s) will take place either at our Main Campus in Northeast Philadelphia, online video chat, or at a Branch location. After all candidates have been interviewed for the position, the applicant will be informed of the decision through email or mail. Qualified candidates will be provided additional information directly from the Recruiter. We kindly ask job seekers to refrain from contacting branches or our contact center seeking updates, as they are focused on servicing our membership and are not involved with the stages of the process. 

Step Five

Our on-boarding and training classes will also take place at our main campus. These courses offer a comprehensive 1-2-week education course about the Credit Union, working in financial services, and other professional skill sets. By the time you're finished, you'll officially feel like part of the team!
