I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (London, England) in Aug 2011
Interview
2 rounds - first with HR and second with the managers. HR interview was straightforward, they were looking for buzz words. The hiring manager interview was more complicated, they had something specific they were looking for. They covered off the HR competency questions as a tick box exercise, then went into specifics.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you had to meet a conflicting deadline, how did you prioritise?
