  1. How long does the recruitment process take from the time I register my initial interest?

    This depends on your availability for interview, your referees' availability and the type of role you are applying for, but generally we aim to make an offer within 4 weeks.

    (Please note that if your specific skill set doesn't match a role within IBM right now, we will keep your details to hand and be in touch as soon as a suitable role comes up.)


  2. Can I interview remotely or do I need to schedule a face-to-face appointment?

    Our recruitment teams in Australia and New Zealand will contact you by telephone or email in the first instance, and then conduct an initial interview in the most suitable medium (usually via telephone).


  3. How many steps are there in the whole recruitment process?

    This varies slightly from role to role, but as a guide:

    • Up to three interviews
    • Potentially a practical test/ assignment (depending on the role type)
    • Appropriate reference checking
    • Formal offer made
    • Offer accepted


  4. How long after I receive a formal offer will I need to start work with IBM?

    We like to be flexible with this as we realise every situation is slightly different. As such, we'll agree on a time with you that reasonably suits both parties.


  5. What sort of help do you provide with relocation costs?

    IBM generally aims to provide everything you would need to make your move over as pain-free as possible. This depends to a certain extent on the level and type of job you are interested in (and suitable for), but could include:

    • Immigration and visa application assistance
    • Help with finding accommodation
    • Financial assistance with packing and shipping personal goods
    • Flight reimbursement for you and your family
