Presentation
Background Check
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
This was for an AM Investment team seat. First consisted of a phone interview with HR - basically all behavioral and background related. Why BMO, why you? This is your chance to sell yourself. I wasn't grilled too much because I submitted a detailed (& actionable) investment write up when I submitted my resume online. HR rep actually read this and said not many candidates submitted one up front, so she liked that and got a chance to see my work product. Second round was with head PM and two senior analysts. Questions consisted of my market knowledge, my investment pitch (note: a write up was apart of the process but I effectively by-passed it with my own work), the asset class itself and risk factors (duration, convexity, Duration times spread etc.). Here's your chance to demonstrate your knowledge and investment acumen. Final round was with head of the group, and 2 other PM's. Questions were around my investment pitch once again, why I'm suited for the role, what I can contribute to the team etc. more behavioral in nature because I think the decision to hire was already made at this point.
