Barclays online assessments

Hi guys,

I applied for the Equity Research Analyst - Expert Graduate Programme at Barclays, and was invited to their online assessment. I just completed it, and 5 minutes later I got another identical email from them again inviting me to online assessments. The only difference between the 2 emails was the subject line. Are there 2 stages of assessments? All the online resources I’ve found only mention 1, or could this be a delayed reminder email (I waited 3 days to take the first assessment)

Any help or info would be much appreciated!

Hey,

Thanks for your response! Any idea what I can expect from these (what types of game/questions)? ER focused questions? Would this already be the time I present a stock pitch or does that come later on in the process?

 

As far as the game goes, I think it's more of a personality test that's designed to assess your alignment with Barclays core values (that's at least the line of bs HR feeds us...). I think it's a bunch of "Pick the statement you agree with most" type questions, and variations thereof. I focus on banking recruiting, so I'm not sure if the Hirevue questions for ER are different.

Current Barc employee active on recruiting. I'm pretty sure there's both a game and a Hirevue.

Does anyone know what the video questions are for IB ‘24 SA? Behavioral or technical? Applied to Toronto and just received the video interview after applying late (recently).
