Diversity, equity & inclusion recruitment guidelines
Our diversity, equity and inclusion recruitment guidelines ensure that we're being as inclusive as possible when looking for new people to join our team so we can attract the most diverse candidate group possible. Kiwibank recruitment ensures our people reflect our customers and communities across Aotearoa.
We aim to have a diverse interview short list for all of our roles, ensuring we don’t compromise on the requirements and needs of the role and always taking into account the benefits of a candidate's lived experience with a diverse interview panel to ensure we have diversity front of mind in our decision making.
At Kiwibank , every voice has a seat, every difference is valued, and belonging is something we build together. I can always show up myself and know I belong. I feel accepted, supported and genuinely glad to be here."Dee Hettiarachchige, Customer Experience Advisor
