I applied online. I interviewed at Barclays (Cambridge, England) in Apr 2017
Interview
Applied for a 3 month FTC. Applied online, was called by Barclays recruiter and offered to take part in a 'virtual' interview. This consisted of some prerecorded questions that I had 30 seconds to prepare for off-camera and 2 minutes to answer via video recording. Ten questions in total, the last one of which wasn't a question but an opportunity to add any extra information I felt was relevant (as in this scenario, you are unable to steer the conversation in any way).

I interviewed at Barclays (Hemel Hempstead, England)
Interview
Digital and automated. You didn’t meet a hiring manager or anyone from the team in person until your first day. Video questions and lots of screening required of you which causes delays in onboarding.
Zoom interview. Competency questions. Giving examples of how you have helped a colleague in the past, a time when you have went that extra mile, your biggest challenge, how your overcame a difficult situation.
My interview was a one stage process. It was an entry level position and so the questions reflected that. I attended the interview at one of the branches and the interview was taken by the branch manager and assistant manager.
