I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at HSBC (London, England) in Sep 2020
Interview
Asked questions based on scenarios present on how I would respond competency-based - the focus is on the things you can do, so you’ll be asked to give examples to show you have the skills needed for the job
strengths-based - these explore what you enjoy doing or do well and is used to check things like your practical or teamworking skills, or how you work under pressure
technical - for jobs in science, IT, engineering, finance or law - they test your job-related knowledge and understanding of work processes
situational judgement - test how you would react in typical work situations and check things like your ability to solve problems, make decisions or work with others
There are online tests including behaviour tests (how you would act in certain scenarios), one way video recorded interview questions and a final long case study where you are given data you have to interpret and talk about.
Application, online test, job simulation. Can only get to job simulation after completing online test. Application does not require cover letter; only CV. Job simulation covers similar numerical, verbal reasoning sections like online test, but also incorporates recorded video interview element.
Job simulation with built in one way video interviews. There was no face to face or interviews with real recruiters it was all one way assessments that were reviewed by HR and decisions were then made.
