Thinking of applying to Nexi?
Here’s how to stand out before you even hit ‘submit’.
Your CV might open the door, but it’s your preparation and motivation that truly gets you noticed. In this edition of Recruiter Tips & Tricks, we’re focusing on two key steps that can make a real difference: researching Nexi and writing a compelling cover letter.
Step ①: Research Nexi
Before you apply, take the time to understand who we are, what we do, and where we’re going. This shows us that you’re not just looking for any job – you’re looking for this one.
What to explore:
- Our website – to learn about our services, values, and recent updates
- LinkedIn and social media – to stay informed about our latest initiatives and culture
- Recent news – including product launches, partnerships, and broader developments in the payments industry, and how Nexi fits into that landscape
- Our values – and how they align with your own
Why it matters:Candidates who reference recent Nexi news or demonstrate an understanding of our business context show genuine interest and initiative. It also helps you tailor your application to the role and team you’re applying for.
What to avoid:
- Skipping the basics – know who we are and what we do
- Only reading the job ad – take time to understand our business and where and how we operate
- Ignoring the industry – understanding trends helps frame your perspective
- Relying only on AI summaries – check Nexi’s website and LinkedIn directly
Step ② : Write a Cover Letter That Adds Value
While not always required, a well-crafted cover letter can set you apart – especially when it’s tailored to the role and reflects your understanding of Nexi.
What to include:
- Why you are interested in Nexi and this specific role
- How your experience aligns with the job description
- What you can bring to the team beyond what’s in your CV
- A short, structured summary that highlights your motivation and connection to our company values
What to avoid:
- Repeating your CV word-for-word
- Using generic templates or incorrect company names – often caused by copy-pasting from other applications, which can result in mismatched names or references
- Writing overly long or vague letters
- Failing to connect your experience to the role
Final Thoughts
Taking the time to research Nexi and craft a thoughtful cover letter shows us that you’re serious, prepared, and motivated. It’s not about writing the perfect letter – it’s about showing us who you are and why you want to be part of what we’re building.
