The HSBC interview process is well-structured and professional. It starts with an online application, followed by online assessments that test numerical, verbal and situational judgement skills. Successful candidates are then invited to a job simulation with written and video questions focused on problem-solving and teamwork. The final stage is usually an assessment centre, which can include a group exercise, case study and interview with HR or a manager. Overall, the process takes around 3–6 weeks and is moderately challenging. Communication from the recruitment team is clear throughout, and the questions are fair, with a strong focus on HSBC’s values and how you apply them in real-life situations.
