The interview process starts with application on workday, followed by an aptitude test and the panel interview at the head offices. The aptitude is fairly challenging with mostly behavioral, numerical and verbal reasoning. The panel interview covers mainly technical aspects of the role you applied for.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Absa Bank (Johannesburg) in June 2025
