I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at HSBC in Apr 2021
Interview
Aptitude testing first, then video interviews where you give examples of times you have displayed a specific skill and the outcome of it. Then was interviewed by 2 managers in a video interview. All good on this part, onboarding is a nightmare, took over 2 months from being offered the job to starting...

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (Londres, Inglaterra) in Aug 2021
Interview
I applied for Universal Banker role in one of the London branch. In the job advert it was mentioned anyone who is looking for full-time, part-time, contract, temporary work can apply.
Note - "I made it very clear at every stage that I am full-time student and looking for part-time work"
First stage was submission of application, then after my application was selected I got the online assessment which consisted of behavioural questions (when I received email for assessment they changed the position name to Customer Service Representative).
After the selection at previous stage I got an invitation for completing on-demand video interview which was again stated as for Universal Banker role, it consisted of 5 questions.
I got through the next stage, which was zoom call with 2-3 interviewers for Customer Service Representative. When I joined the zoom call, interviewer said the actual role they are recruiting for is the Cashier Role for which they needed someone who can work full-time. He started interview on that note, and I knew that I would not be selected as I can only work part-time, still they wasted my time through such a long process.
If you wanted to hire someone full-time, why would you not clearly mention?
If all the roles are same - Customer Service Representative/ Cashier/ Universal Banker, then why to change the name of role at every stage?
Why to waste the time of full-time international students?
