I applied in-person. I interviewed at Standard Chartered Bank (Johannesburg) in Jan 2015
Interview
Excellent . I enjoyed the process and the manager was supportive.
It did not take long because I had worked for them before. I wish all hiring managers were like that.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Standard Chartered Bank (Lagos) in Mar 2014
Interview
The interview had 2 stages. Stage 1 was a panel of three interviewers. Basic personality questions with questions on your knowledge of the responsibility associated with the role. You may also be asked questions away from Banking to test your knowledge of happenings around your business environment.
Stage 2 was the country head of retail. Basic questions like why you want to work with Standard Chartered Bank, how you manage work pressure, also your past experience and selling skills.
