has anyone done the barclays online interview and would be able to give me some advice/tips for it?


Really calm actually.

It's a mix of record yourself questions (you get 1 min prep, 2 min response time) and SJT style multi choice questions based on being in the spring week as a participant.

Record yourself Qs are just very basic competency stuff then a summary of how you felt the interview was at the end.

No need to prep much - maybe think about Barclay's values (it's on their website).

Video interview right? How're Barclays recruiting for SWs this year?

Are they recruiting on a rolling basis? Seeing as everyone gets the interview invite?


Seems to be app form -> auto invite to video int -> offer.

Everyone has to do a video interview, as far as I know it's 12 questions with 4 video responses and 8 written ones.

What kind of competency stuff? As in giving examples of stuff you've done or asking what you'd do in a situation? Also are there any sort of "why barclays" type of questions?
Does Barclays have 2 SWs this year again? where you get to choose a date?

I'm not explicitly gonna say the questions lol.

But it's straight forward enough.

Only way to find this out is to ask an offer holder or get an offer.

Does anyone know when the spring weeks take place in April or do they only tell you if you get the offer?


BAML is the w/c 3rd April

Does anyone has a list on banks that do not have numericals?
Are it just Barc, JPM and GS?

Oh cool, just wanted to know whether this Barclays next-day offer or you're rejected was a thing or not. Anyway, all the best :smile:
