I applied online. I interviewed at HSBC (London, England) in Feb 2016
Interview
Standard telephone from a member of HR. Very friendly and chatty. Explained the format of the interview and then started asking questions. They explain that all answered should be answered using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action & Result) where appropriate.
