HSBC Graduate Insight Programme 2025 - Investment Banking, Trading and Markets

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has applied to this programme and if they got feedback from the job simulation stage. I got a cappfinity report that was supposed to have "Key Strengths" and "Potential Areas for Development" but the report doesn't look like it has any "Key Strengths" lmao just some generic development areas, wondering if anyone else got the same or if its just me lol

Do you know when the application opened? Rough estimate?

Also what was the job simulation like? Was it video and written question?

Hello, do you know what the next steps are in the recruitment process. Will there be an assessment centre or a video call interview?

Like around a week ago, maybe a little more. Also it was mainly video + drag and drop based on what you are most and least likely to do

Wasn't proper feedback but like a Capfinity report the day after I did the online thing

Were there many personal video interview questions or was it manly situational

I'd say just prepare as if you're going in for an actual interview. Won't provide any more information for a level playing field.

do we have any idea of when they will be holding assessment centres?

Hey, not really sorry. I don't think people have got anything back other than the initial report thing so far.

Isn't job simulation the final stage?

Has anyone got any replies yet? lol

I assumed there would be assessment centre, but there's isn't much time left. I believe I saw ac somewhere.

Not heard anything yet as well. I only done my JS couple of days ago. When did you guys do yours?

Also, they extended the application deadline twice from Sunday to Monday and then Tuesday.

I haven't heard back either, did mine just over a week ago
