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!

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.

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?

 

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).
