I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at HSBC (New York, NY) in Jun 2011
Interview
Interviewed with market leader and branch manager. Was in meeting for over 1 hour. Discussed expectations of the position and my previous work experience. They also were looking for specific situational examples of how I would gain referrals, make goals and what I knew about HSBC.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
One phone interview after two weeks applying, then a self assessment is required. One week later two panel interviews including three interviewers which was 2 hours long. Offered in a week. Background check took two weeks.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (White Plains, NY) in Apr 2014
Interview
Slow process, Very sloppy questions, interviewer with absolutely no knowledge poor skills in how to interview. Really not happy how HSBC is screening people to hire, looks like they are not reading the resumes and instead of looking for talent they are looking for cheap labour.
