I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC
Interview
Received an internal referral to a position and moved on to take a values-based assessment very quickly. After passing it, my status read "An action is required - Request to schedule HR Live interview." but there was no way to do so from the Candidate Portal. I contacted HR twice regarding this to no avail. After receiving no emails or phone calls during this process, my application was rejected after four weeks.
I applied online. I interviewed at HSBC (Hong Kong) in Apr 2022
Interview
It was a great one. There were assessments on both technical and soft skills, including but not limited to asking about the track record of my clientele, investments advisory, deals closing, asset class coverage, etc.
Clearly set process and experts in the domain area. Relevant questions asked throughout and kept abreast of the developments after each conversation. 4 rounds with the last round being with the global department head
