Employment
State Trustees aim to attract and recruit individuals who are particularly suited to assist us in meeting our current and future business needs. We take great care in selecting applicants whose values and beliefs align with our own corporate purpose and values.
Recruitment and Selection
We ensure a fair and equitable process is undertaken in the recruitment and selection of staff based on individual merit subject to the role requirements.
To help you understand our recruitment process and to ensure you know what to expect, here is an outline of the typical stages that a successful applicant will progress through.
Online Application
People interested in joining State Trustees should apply for specific roles that are advertised under the Employment Search section within our website. This will ensure thorough consideration is given to every individual application.
Acknowledgement of Application
Once you have submitted your on-line application, you will receive an email from our recruitment team acknowledging receipt of your application. This will confirm that your application has reached us.
Phone Interview
If progressed to this stage, one of our Recruitment Advisors may contact you for a short phone interview. It is likely that this discussion will take between 10-20 minutes. As this will be the initial contact you have with us, the recruitment process will be explained to you and indicative timeframes given. This is also an excellent opportunity to clarify any questions you may have.
Interviews
Based on the information you have provided in your application and during the phone interview, you may be invited to attend an interview. These will typically involve interviews with individuals such as the team leader or manager of the role, and may include a representative from the recruitment team. You will be asked questions about your skills and experience and how these relate to the role you have applied to. State Trustees uses a competency-based interviewing model.
At the commencement of the interview process, you will be provided with more information on State Trustees and the role you have applied to. We encourage you to take this opportunity to ask any specific questions that you may have about the company, role or recruitment process.
Ability or Aptitude Tests
Ability or aptitude testing may be included as a step in our recruitment process. These tests provide us with additional information about your aptitude in areas such as numeric or verbal reasoning as well as your ability to learn new material. Once completed, feedback on the tests can be made available to anyone who undertakes this type of assessment.
Additional Assessments
For some specific roles, additional forms of assessment may be undertaken. Details of these will be explained to all applicants at the interview stage.
Reference Checks
You will be asked to provide contact details for two referees who can confirm your work experience. These referees will be contacted and asked to comment on your skills and experience in relation to the role you have applied for. These referees will generally be previous supervisors or managers who have direct knowledge of your abilities.
National Criminal History Check
Employment at State Trustees is subject to a satisfactory National Criminal History check. You will be required to complete a form with personal details either prior to or upon your commencement in order to request the National Criminal History Check to be undertaken.
Anti Money Laundering Check
All new employees will be subject to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks and ongoing employment is conditional upon satisfactory completion of such a check.
State Trustees reserves the right to withdraw an offer of employment on the basis of an unsatisfactory AML check.
