Our recruitment team works with you as you move through every step of the hiring process. We encourage you to apply for a specific position or connect with us on LinkedIn. Don’t see a job posting in your area of expertise? We keep resumes on file for certain in-demand job areas such as IT and supervision and regulation.

Connect with one of our recruiters on LinkedIn: Sheri Hohenstein, Manila Haveri, and Jodi Januszweski.

To apply, you’ll submit your materials—a current resume and any other supporting documentation requested, depending on the position—through the Bank’s application platform. Apply for as many different positions as you are qualified for (the Cleveland Fed has lots of opportunities). You can choose to upload a different resume for each position to which you apply.

Now that you’ve applied, what’s next? Once you’ve applied online for a specific position, you’ll receive an email acknowledging our receipt of your application. Our recruitment team will review your application materials, looking at your skills and experience to see how well they match with the position requirements. If you’re chosen for consideration, a recruiter will contact you to schedule an initial phone screen. After the phone screen, you may be selected for subsequent interviews.

After the interview process is complete, a recruiter may contact you with an employment offer. If you are not selected for hire, you will be notified, and your information will be maintained in the Cleveland Fed’s recruiting database should you wish to apply for another position in the future. Check our Search Jobs page for additional employment opportunities. You can also log in and check your application status at any time.

If you’ve been offered a position and have accepted it, the next step in the process is a thorough background check. Different positions have different requirements, but most require a verification of your education, previous employment, and social security number. In every instance, each new hire will undergo a drug screening and a fingerprint background check.

Once we receive satisfactory results from these various screenings, you can look forward to your first day on the job and a virtual new hire orientation.

We work hard to make the whole process as easy as possible, and we look forward to welcoming you to the Bank!

When it comes to health and wellness, we know you want choices, and our industry-leading, comprehensive package gives you the power to manage your health and wellness. Four medical plan coverage levels are available to suit you and your family’s specific needs, and prescription, dental, and vision plans provide generous coverage at low cost to you. Same- and opposite-sex spouse, domestic partner, transgender, fertility, and adoption benefits are included—because we support you whatever the composition of your family. Want to stay (or get) fit? Each Cleveland Fed location has healthy food options and either onsite or offsite fitness benefits. And our wellness incentive programs can keep you on track.

We know there’s more to life than work and that personal responsibilities take time and energy. We offer paid time off (PTO)—for doctor’s appointments, household repairs, rest and relaxation, and more—and flexible work schedules to allow you to better balance your work and your life. New parents get six weeks of paid parental leave (take it all at once or spread it out during your first 12 months together). Our childcare and eldercare referral services and back-up care benefits help you through those unexpected circumstances, too. And because service is a big part of our life at the Cleveland Fed, we offer paid volunteer hours through our volunteer program, Fed It Forward.

Our financial benefits are designed to give you the compensation and advice you need today and the security you need tomorrow. In addition to market- and performance-based compensation, you’ll have an employer-sponsored 401k plan and a pension plan, be eligible for bonuses, and have access to pretax savings plans for commuting, healthcare, and childcare. You and your dependents will also be covered by the Fed’s identity theft protection program to give you peace of mind in today’s digital age. Not sure how to plan for your children’s college fund? We’ve got your back there, too—and in planning for other major life events—with financial education and counseling programs offered through Ayco.

No matter your career stage, you can take advantage of opportunities for professional growth and development at the Cleveland Fed. Be challenged by the work you do. Be supported through ongoing coaching. And expand your skills and knowledge through education programs at local civic and academic institutions. We offer early-career development, leadership development for new and seasoned leaders, tuition reimbursement for select degrees and programs, and opportunities to work on cross-functional teams. We also have a peer-to-peer mentorship program.

Sometimes it’s the little things. Through partnerships with other programs, we provide discounted rates on cell phone service, group legal services, and car rentals; discounted tickets to amusement parks, entertainment venues, and attractions; and discounted technology and products such as software and computers. Two of our locations, Cleveland and Cincinnati, offer the convenience of onsite cafeterias, and all of our locations are located in bustling downtowns.

Our efforts benefit the communities in which we volunteer, through employees’ dedicating their time and efforts to aid nonprofit organizations. But volunteering also benefits employees, as they collaborate and practice leadership skills, and the Bank, as we gain deeper insight into the problems that affect our region. Service is part of who we are at every level.

Employees who feel their best—physically, mentally, and professionally—are their best. We support our employees’ wellness efforts with onsite workout facilities, health incentive programs, our work–life balance culture, and more.
