Getting Hired
Tips from the inside
More of a challenge"If anything, HSBC's recruitment process is getting tougher," warns one insider. As far as qualifications go, the firm tends to "select the best," but "a big part of getting hired is your timing and the position you're applying for." Potential candidates must go through "several rounds of one-on-one interviews, group interviews, analytical and verbal tests and case studies." After the process concludes, "each candidate is discussed and an offer is extended only to those on whom all interviewers agree." Expect up to seven individual and group interviews that include the standard "background and experience questions" as well as slightly offbeat "tests and exercises," such as "What’s your favorite color?"
