      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at HSBC

      Interview

      Video interview that contained case analysis. We needed to write reports and record our answers. It took at least thirty minutes. Make sure you find a quiet room for better focus.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at HSBC

      Interview

      Demoralizing process and did not feel like my time and efforts were respected at all. Applied mid-February and progressed to the JSA on 3 Mar. Both online assessments were extremely long and tedious to complete. After JSA, I was asked to submit my transcripts which I did promptly, then got ghosted for more than a month. Received a rejection early April which was over five weeks after completing the job simulation. They were apparent about not being able to provide feedback for the JSA. At this point it's less about the rejection than about the fact that you could've communicated better throughout the process and not hold anyone up. Extremely disappointing.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at HSBC (London, England) in Nov 2025

      Interview

      the secont stage of the application process is the Job assesment which asks to record some video answers. They will give you time to prepare, but it requires the applicants to think quickly of the correct answers.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (Hong Kong)

      Interview

      Online application, cognitive and situational online assessment, timed job simulation and video response, then the final assessment centre with group tasks, case studies, and one-on-one interviews—all testing skills, teamwork, and alignment to HSBC values.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What behavioural and technical skills do you have that make you a great fit for HSBC and how would you use them in your day-to-day role?
