Interview
Relatively straight forward. The first step is an immersive exam that tests behavioral tendencies in different scenarios (replicating real-life examples). Next is an on-campus interview, focusing on introducing yourself, talking about previous experience, and some questions on HSBC (the different services they provide).
Online interview with a mix of tasks such as pre-recorded questions and ranking questions. Overall, not a hard process but it's best to practice beforehand for the best experience .
Job simulation - SJT questions, numerical/ verbal questions and HireVue questions. Took about an hour to do, all online - idk what else to write here but needs to be 30 words minimum,
