I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at HSBC (Singapore) in Oct 2011
Interview
HSBC insurance contacted me although I didn't apply for the job. Thought I did as i got confused with another job posting I applied for under the main HSBC. Organising of the interview was prompt but quite informal. Arrangements seemed to be made by the employees there too. Interview was more like a session of promoting the job instead of "tell me why you're suitable". However, interviewer was extremely friendly and made a conversation out of a interview. Typical sales person.
Straightforward interview process. Online assessment then waiting two or so weeks for an update. Then then another round of behavioural that included information about yourself and your resume. Friendly people and would recommend.
Multilayers process meeting with key members within the team. In total 5+ separate interviews, Most were 1 on 1, a couple involved multiple people. They tended to follow the same format and line of questioning. Nice people, nice culture.
