HSBC- 5 valuable takeaways from Recruiters in Residence

Posted on: 21 January 2019 in Interview with a recruiter

HSBC visited the Career Studio in order to showcase their opportunities for our students.

5 things to take away from the HSBC Recruiters in Residence…

• HSBC values adaptive and flexible employees!
  • As you will be required to relocate every 6 months during your scheme, you will need to be able to adapt to your new department, colleagues and surroundings- great if you love change!
• HSBC highly emphasises diversity in their workplace!
  • Employees from all backgrounds work together, which provides for a very interesting mix of cultures, ideas and attitudes.
• If you did not study a discipline that caters to banking, that does not put you at a disadvantage!
  • As part of their diversity pledges, students are considered from all degree disciplines- as long as you are interested in banking, they are willing to teach you all you need to know!
• Keep in mind, that the recruitment process is strengths based.
  • This means that they are matching your strengths to the organisation and are not interested in what you have done in the past. This style may be more difficult to prepare for- speak to our Career Coaches for some tips!
• Due to difficulties that graduates often have to acclimate to their new lifestyle, HSBC make this transition easier by providing you with a buddy!
  • Your buddy can answer any questions and resolve any doubts!
