How to Get a Job Referral at UBS

Get referred at UBS. Verified employees refer you directly, no contacts needed. Wallet refund if no referral.

Get a UBS referral without a personal contact

You do not need an introduction to take the next step at UBS. RefOpen connects you with verified employees so you can request a referral for your target role and track its progress.

  1. Choose an open UBS role and keep its job URL or requisition ID.
  2. Upload your resume and highlight the experience that matches the role.
  3. Review the request price, then send your request to verified employees.
  4. Track the referral and complete the employer's application steps.

If your request expires without a referral, the held funds return to your wallet.

Bring an employee recommendation to your UBS application

UBS is a global wealth manager and investment bank headquartered in Switzerland. It hires across wealth management, investment banking, asset management, technology and operations.

A job referral gives an employee the opportunity to recommend your experience for a specific opening. A focused resume and a clear explanation of your fit make that recommendation easier to consider.

RefOpen brings your request to employees who have verified their current company email. You can find a route to a referral even when your personal network does not reach UBS.

Roles UBS commonly hires for

Explore role categories such as Financial Advisor, Software Engineer, Investment Banking Analyst, Risk Analyst and Operations Specialist. Check the current job listings to find an opening that matches your goals.

Whether you are a fresher targeting a first role or an experienced professional aiming higher, tailor your resume to the specific opening before you request a referral. A focused, role-matched profile makes it far easier for an employee to put their name behind you.

Prepare a strong UBS referral request

For a financial-services role at UBS, read the vacancy's domain, licensing, work-authorization and background-check requirements. A referral does not waive those requirements. An employee or the employer's recruiting team can confirm the process and any restrictions on that opening.

How to get a referral at UBS on RefOpen

To request a UBS job referral:

  1. Create your free RefOpen profile and upload your resume.
  2. Select UBS, add the exact vacancy and review the price before submitting your request.
  3. Verified employees review requests for roles that match a candidate's experience.
  4. The employee who accepts your request submits the referral through the employer's process and adds proof on RefOpen.
  5. Track the request. Wallet funds held for a request that expires unfulfilled are returned to your wallet under the refund policy.

Keep your application ready and complete the candidate steps requested by the employer.

Getting your UBS request accepted

Describe the products, systems or regulatory work you have actually handled. Be precise about responsibility and qualifications, and never share confidential client or employer information in a referral request.

Name the exact UBS requisition, keep your resume and LinkedIn consistent, and describe how your experience meets the listed requirements. Avoid requests to be referred to any available role. Do not include confidential documents, identity numbers or information the employee does not need to assess fit.

Work at UBS? Refer candidates

Verify your current company email on RefOpen to review referral requests from candidates interested in UBS. Choose candidates whose experience fits an opening, refer them through your employer's approved process, and submit referral proof for review. Eligible completed referrals earn the reward shown on the request.

RefOpen rewards are separate from any internal UBS employee referral bonus. Check your employer's referral, conflict-of-interest and outside-payment policies before participating. Internal bonus amounts and eligibility come from your employer, not RefOpen; neither a referral nor a reward guarantees a hire.

Frequently asked questions

Does UBS have an employee referral programme?

Referral eligibility depends on the role and employer. A current employee or the recruiting team can confirm the process for your target vacancy, including whether you can be referred after applying.

Do I need to know someone to get a referral at UBS?

No. On RefOpen you can request a referral from UBS employees with no personal connection there. Employees on the platform choose to refer candidates whose profiles match the role.

Does a referral guarantee a job at UBS?

No. It does not guarantee recruiter review, priority screening, an interview or an offer. UBS controls assessment and hiring decisions, and a referral does not waive the vacancy's requirements.

Who actually refers me, and are they real UBS employees?

Referrals on RefOpen come from verified UBS employees who have opted in to help job seekers. They review your profile and submit the referral through UBS's own internal referral system.

Can freshers and entry-level candidates get a UBS referral?

Can I request a UBS referral for a role in another country?

Yes. Choose the opening in your target country and include its exact job URL or requisition ID. Check the posting's location, remote-work and work-authorization requirements, including sponsorship if you need it. Your target job location can differ from your account country; your request price is shown in your account currency before you submit.

Can I get a UBS referral after I have already applied?

Include your application status and the exact role in your request. The employee can follow UBS's process for that vacancy; eligibility after applying varies by employer. For a new opening, prepare your referral request before applying so you can follow the employee's guidance.

Does a referral actually help when applying to UBS?

A referral can add an employee's recommendation to your application and connect your experience to a specific role. RefOpen makes that route accessible without an existing personal contact; the employer decides the next hiring steps.

Does UBS pay an employee referral bonus?

Check UBS's internal referral policy for bonus amounts, eligibility and payment timing. RefOpen's displayed reward for an eligible completed referral is separate from any employer bonus. Employees should follow their employer's referral and outside-payment policies.

Is requesting a UBS referral on RefOpen free?

Creating a profile, uploading a resume and browsing jobs are free. Your referral price depends on the company tier and request type, and is shown in your account currency before submission. Funds held for a request that expires unfulfilled return to your wallet under the refund policy.
