Barclays Discovery 2023
Hi All,
No thread yet for Barclays Discovery Programme 2023, so I figured I'd start one. I just submitted my application. Hoping to hear from you all about when offers are given and to make a thread on it.

2 parts of the assessment, the first part everyone receives a personality type test and as soon as you finish you will be given a video assessment or rejected. The video assessment is one way with 3 real questions (1 practice) with no redo's and they come one after another automatically. Good luck everyone :)
Would you mind sharing what the 3 questions were? Any technicals?
Super easy behavs, no techs
I only took a personality test, no HireVue component was mentioned on the website...
The video assessment should have been immediately emailed to you right after you took the personality test (assuming you passed their standards). That's what happened for me and I took it at like 1am. But it could also be a delay or you'll get it in 1-2 days no idea.
Did the deadline pass already?
What are the diversity requirements to apply for this?
did anyone else receive first round interview/know whether technicals are asked?
U got a first round?
Also wondering this!
easy technicals, mostly behaviorals/about background
Anyone hear back post-HV?
No
Nope

Crap I haven't done my video interview yet, is it passed deadline? I just finished my personality like two hours ago
Can we still submit an application
I don't think so because I can't find the job listing anymore, I applied a couple of days ago when I had one of those frantic job application phase and for the life of me, I don't remember what the position I applied. It just says banking...
