I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BlackRock (Londres, Angleterre) in Jan 2023
Interview
2x 30-minute online live interviews.
Each with a member of relevant team (mine was Alternative Specialists). Options to hear more about the role and team, and general conversation about your motivation for BlackRock.
First interview very positive, enjoyed the conversation and they felt helpful. Second interview felt more judgemental and more 'trick' questions.

Tell me something about yourself that isn't on your CV?
There were two Hirevue Qs followed by a telephone interview. The Hirevues were quite straightforward and easy to go through. Around two minutes to record each answer, good amount of preparation time in between each of them.
