Following our previous tips on how to craft a strong CV and write a compelling cover letter tailored to Nexi, we now turn to the next step in your journey: the virtual interview.
While some interviews may take place in person, most are conducted online, so knowing how to prepare for a virtual format will not only help you present yourself with confidence but also help you make a strong and lasting impression.
At Nexi, we’re always looking for people who are curious, driven, and ready to thrive in a fast-paced payment environment. Whether you’re an innovator, a collaborator, or a problem-solver, this is your opportunity to show us what you can bring to our diverse and ambitious team.
Here are our recruiters’ top tips to help you stand out.
Step ①: Prepare Your Environment and Tech Setup
A virtual interview is just like meeting in person, only through a screen. The way you prepare your environment can make a big difference in how you come across.
What to do:
- Test your camera, microphone and internet before the call.
- Choose a quiet, well-lit space that reflects professionalism.
- Keep your background simple and distraction-free.
Why it matters:
When your setup runs smoothly, you can focus on what really matters: your story, your skills, and your motivation. Every interaction helps us see how you communicate and think, and how you might contribute to shaping the future of payments.
What to avoid:
- Joining from noisy or busy environments
- Interruptions from people or pets
- Overthinking your background. Neat and natural works best
Recruiter insight: You don’t need a perfect setup. What counts is presence, focus and the enthusiasm you bring to the conversation.
Step ② : Bring Your Best Self
Your presentation is more than how you look on screen, it’s about the energy, preparation, and authenticity you bring.
What to do:
- Review your experience and prepare examples that show your impact.
- Ask thoughtful questions about our teams and culture.
- Show curiosity and connection to our vision: We simplify payments for People.
- Be yourself. Confident, genuine and engaged.
Why it matters:
At Nexi, we’re not only looking for skills, we’re looking for people who want to make an impact every day, who are eager to learn, and who thrive in diverse, international teams. The way you prepare and show up tells us as much as what’s written on your CV.
What to avoid:
- Reading answers word-for-word: make sure you stay natural and conversational
- Multitasking or checking notifications during the interview
- Treating it casually: make sure to bring the same focus as you would in person!
Recruiter insight: The most memorable candidates are those who connect what they do best with what we do best, using technology and collaboration to simplify payments for millions of people.
Step ③: Leave a Lasting Impression
The final minutes of your interview are your chance to reinforce who you are and what drives you. End with a clear, positive message about your motivation to join Nexi.
What to do:
- Express what excites you most about the role or company.
- Thank the interviewer for their time and insights.
- Reflect our values: Driving excellence for our Customers always, Shaping payments through our Competence, Winning with our Energy together, and Enjoying the richness of Diversity
Recruiter insight: We remember candidates who leave us thinking “They really get what we’re building”.
At Nexi, we believe that Next starts with you, everyday. And that starts with how you show up: curious, prepared, and ready to make a difference. By taking time to prepare your setup and showing up authentically, you’ll give yourself the best chance to shine. We’re proud to be a company where you can grow, make an impact, and be part of a diverse group shaping the future of digital payments across Europe.
