How We Hire at HPE

At Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), we believe candidates should understand how our hiring process works, what they can expect from us, and how technology may be used throughout the recruiting experience. Our goal is to provide a hiring process that is transparent, fair, accessible, secure, and supported by appropriate human oversight. 

The hiring process may vary depending on the role, location, and business need, but it typically includes application review, recruiter engagement, interviews, assessments where appropriate, and pre-employment requirements such as employment eligibility verification or background screening where permitted by law. Our goal is to evaluate candidates fairly based on their qualifications, skills, experience, and potential.

Candidates are evaluated using job-related criteria relevant to the position. Depending on the role, this may include skills, experience, qualifications, technical capabilities, problem-solving abilities, communication skills, and potential contributions to the team and organization. Employment decisions are made by recruiters and hiring managers based on job-related factors.

Not necessarily. Hiring processes may vary by role, location, business requirements, and applicable legal requirements. Candidates will be informed of the steps that apply to their opportunity.

Technology & Artificial Intelligence

Yes. HPE may use AI-enabled technologies to support recruiting activities, improve efficiency, and enhance the candidate experience. These technologies may support activities such as candidate communications, scheduling, workflow management, organizing recruiting information, and identifying candidates whose skills and experience may align with available opportunities.

No. AI is used to support our recruiters and hiring teams, not replace them. Employment decisions are not made solely by automated systems. Recruiters and hiring managers remain responsible for reviewing candidate information, conducting interviews, evaluating qualifications, and making hiring decisions.

Transparency is important to us. Where required by applicable law, HPE will provide notice when AI-enabled technologies are used as part of the recruiting process. We are committed to providing candidates with clear information about how technology may be used throughout their hiring experience. 

Where required by law, candidates will be provided with notice, consent, and information regarding applicable rights related to the use of AI-enabled technologies. When applicable, candidates may also be informed of available alternatives, accommodations, or review processes. HPE's use of AI-enabled technologies is governed by applicable legal, regulatory, privacy, and accessibility requirements.

The Application Process

Before you reach out, consider how you envision your career. How can you play a role in simplifying technology for the world? What challenges are you looking for? What makes you unique? Would you thrive in a global culture? Apply for positions that match both your skills and your aspirations. Be realistic—but optimistic. Let us know what you’re passionate about. What drives you? 


Your resume/CV is vital, so make it count. It gets our attention and helps us predict where you might add value to our team. It should reflect both who you are and who you want to be. Details matter—proofread anything you send us. Put some time into your profile. It’s a big deal. Differentiate yourself. Tell us why you are the best person for the job.

Start by completing your candidate profile to help us match your skills with our roles. Then use our job search to apply directly for a position.

Applying

Answer as many as you can. The more we know about you, the easier it is to know if you’re right for the job.

Yes. In fact, we recommend attaching additional information (like a cover letter, references, etc.) to your profile as well. If you prefer, you can also type or paste into the appropriate text field.

Apply in English if it’s your first language, or in the language of the country in which you’re applying. If you’d like to be considered for jobs in more than one country, it’s a good idea to submit your resume/CV in English.

After you apply

You can change your password by using the “forgot password” function on the log-in portion of your application or profile. We’ll send you an email right away with instructions on what to do next.

If you’ve applied for a specific job, we’ll review your application and get in touch if we want to know more. If you’ve submitted a profile, we’ll contact you if something opens up that’s the right fit.

While we appreciate your initiative, there’s no need to follow up. If you’ve applied for a job online or submitted your profile, we’ll get in touch if you’re the right fit.

No, just log in to your existing account and change your email in the personal information section. This will also change the address you use to log in. Please don’t create multiple accounts—it could cause confusion and delay your hire.

Oops, sorry about that. Please report the problem right away on our feedback page. Make sure to list the requisition number.

We will retain your information in our candidate database for one year. We invite you to visit our jobs website regularly and apply online to specific jobs that may interest you.

Candidate Expectations

We are committed to evaluating each candidate based on their own knowledge, skills, experience, and contributions. Candidates are expected to accurately represent their identity, qualifications, work history, education, experience, and accomplishments throughout the recruiting process. 

Yes. Candidates may use publicly available resources, including AI tools, to research HPE, learn about opportunities, prepare for interviews, and organize their application materials. 

Unless approved as part of a reasonable accommodation or otherwise permitted by applicable law, candidates should not use AI-generated responses, real-time coaching tools, impersonation technologies, or similar forms of assistance during interviews, assessments, or other evaluation activities where HPE is assessing a candidate's individual capabilities. Our goal is to ensure all candidates are evaluated fairly and consistently. 

Candidates who significantly misrepresent their identity, qualifications, experience, or participation in the hiring process, or who use prohibited technologies during evaluation activities, may be removed from consideration. 

Fair & Secure Hiring

To help maintain a fair, secure, and trustworthy hiring process, candidates may be asked to participate in activities that support identity verification and hiring security. Depending on the role, location, and stage of the process, these activities may include live video interviews, voice-based interactions, authentication processes, in-person meetings, or background screening requirements where permitted by law. 

Recruitment fraud, identity impersonation, and other employment-related scams have become increasingly sophisticated. These measures help support the integrity of our hiring process and help ensure candidates are evaluated based on their own qualifications, experience, and capabilities.

HPE takes reasonable measures to safeguard candidate information and support the security of our recruiting processes. For additional information about how personal information is collected, used, shared, protected, and retained during recruitment, please review our Recruitment Privacy Notice. 

Accommodations & Support

HPE is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive hiring experience. Candidates who require a reasonable accommodation during any stage of the application or hiring process are encouraged to request assistance as early as possible. Accommodations may be available during applications, interviews, assessments, verification activities, and other recruitment steps. 

Accommodation requests are considered on a case-by-case basis. Our teams work with candidates to understand their needs and identify appropriate solutions that enable meaningful participation while maintaining the purpose and integrity of the hiring process. 

Candidates who require assistance or accommodation during the application or interview process may submit a request through our Candidate Support process. 

Our Commitment

We are committed to a hiring process that is: 

We provide clear information about our hiring process and how technology may be used throughout the candidate experience. 

We evaluate candidates based on job-related qualifications, skills, experience, and potential. 

We provide a process through which candidates may request reasonable accommodations. 

We take reasonable measures to safeguard candidate information and support the integrity of our hiring process. 

We use technology thoughtfully while maintaining appropriate human oversight and accountability.
