I applied online. I interviewed at HSBC (Singapore) in Feb 2025
Interview
First round was a video interview, a series of pre-recorded responses. Second round was mostly behavioural questions, focusing on why you wanted that job, what is something that differentiates you from other candidates, before explaining more about the job function

Question 1
Why Commercial Banking? Is it something that interests you?
Passed the initial round of Hirevue video interviews, followed by a Zoom interview with the team lead a few weeks later. The interview had typical HSBC questions, along with some technical and non-technical questions. Had good chemistry with the team lead and hence received an offer shortly after the interview.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself. Tell me why you want to work at HSBC.
Quite smooth, good experience, got into the interview with managers but was rejected due to lack of relevant experience which was quite expected. The managers were very friendly. Overall it was a good experience.
