Yes, though we recommend limiting it to two applications at a time and waiting until you hear back from us and/or are contacted by a recruiter who will also help to explore the best options with you.

Please lean on our recruiting and coordination team members, who will be your guides during the interview process. 

If your application has been successfully progressed, please work with your assigned Recruiter (TX Specialist) for any questions throughout your interview process. They can answer questions about what to expect, timelines, who you'll be chatting with, and more. 

If a Coordinator has been partnering with you to schedule your interviews, please ensure you loop them into any scheduling queries or changes.

The timeline can move as quickly or slowly as both you and our hiring teams can manage. This often varies based on the role, interview availability, and number of applicants.

Yes, our interviews are conducted camera-on so be ready to chat to our team face-to-face. Some roles may require an in-person interview, but don't worry, we'll give you ample warning if so. 

Just like how we show up day-to-day, we want you to wear whatever you’re comfortable in for your interview. Whether you do your best work in a t-shirt or a blazer, you’re welcome to either!

You sure can! If you’re applying for the same role, we generally recommend waiting 6 months (or 12 months for certain technical roles) before reapplying. This gives you time to grow your skill set and ensures you’re bringing fresh perspective to the interview.

We do experience a large volume of applications, so time to respond can vary. We aim to follow up with those who we would like to move forward with within two weeks.

You'll need to hold, or be able to obtain, the right to work in the country the role is based in. In some cases Xero may be able to support visa sponsorship, but this isn't available for every role or location and is assessed case by case. Let your recruiter know your work authorization status at the start of the process and complete the question in the application form, so they can talk you through what's possible.

Relocation support depends on the role, the location, and the circumstances of the move. It isn't offered for every role, and any support is agreed case by case. If you're located somewhere other than where the role is based, let your recruiter know as soon as possible. They can talk through the options and what support, if any, may be available.

Flexible working at Xero covers a wide range of formal and informal arrangements – including remote working, hybrid work, adjusted hours, and part-time roles. Each role advertised has the aligned office listed. Every Xero also has access to all our office hubs via an electronic key.
