BMO SA 2021
Starting a thread because I haven't seen one yet. Several people I talked to at the bank said recruiting is starting soon/has started, but I cannot find an application online. Anyone have any updates?

From what I have heard, the majority of recruiting is done at target schools and then the application opens up in the summer for non-targets and referrals.
Wouldn’t that mean recruiting doesn’t really start till sept cuz otherwise how would they hold info sessions? plus a top-target I know doesn’t even give it’s students access to the job portal till Sept.
I think they started April for some targets in US
Could be wrong, but I think they have done a substantial amount of OCR already. Not sure about offers but I know they have began interviews at target schools
haven’t done OCR yet - Target
Coming from one of BMOs targets, several of my classmates have received and accepted offers
is this CAN or US?
Gave out offers for NYC at my target.
Most people here seem to be referencing US recruiting. Not sure about BMO's timeline for non-US
Had an employee referral and got an introduction email from campus recruiting - anyone else (non-target) hear anything?
I got this same email and sent my resume in. haven’t heard anything since (2 weeks)
same
Non-target here, got a few surveys regarding group placement then a application for S&T about a week ago or so. Haven't heard anything since.
when did your app come in? I got the email from HR and asked for IB, but never heard back.
What was on the survey? Also, do you guys know how different the process is for IB and S&T?
Any update on SF?
Is SF recruiting through target schools or are they pulling from the application pool on the website?
Does anyone know how likely you are to get a first round with a referral?
From what I understand, referrals carry some weight with BMO
They said if you are picked for a first round you'll hear back in late June and interview will be held through July. This was for S&T so not sure about IB or CB timeline
is the application online? or only those who got the email?
.
bump! what was the requirement for getting the survey? did you guys fill out the online app or get referred?
referral
Has anyone heard anything yet who had a referral? Specifically IBD
I had one for IBD havent heard.
Anyone hear?? Not sure why they would say 5-7 business days then not send anything for a month...
same
same here
following
any updates w/ the people that got referrals? none for me
nope, no updates :(
nothing here
Is BMO a prestigious company to work at
I'm guessing nobody has heard anything still? Nothing on my end..
does anyone know if getting the referral link from HR is sufficient to land a first round? or should I try to network a little more
Ok sweet, thanks for the info. I networked with one person and to me it seems like the referral is sufficient based on what they said. But i'm sure it would only help if you networked more.
I think most will but networking always helps to secure it cause its hard to imagine they will invite everyone who applied through the link for a first round, which they mass sent it out to target schools
still nothing from BMO... has anyone reached out to people at the firm for a timeline for those that were referred?
no but don’t please if you have a contact in HR. Same boat, sitting w a referral but not sure if it even means anything...
do** sorry for the typo
Where can I access the BMO 2021 IB APP?Thank you?
It seems like we all applied through referrals on this page. It appears they didn't release an application for non-referrals yet. I'm not sure they ever will open that up -- I have no idea.
they never had one for summer 2020 or 2019, so assume they won't this year
Just got a first round a few mins ago. non-target but had referral and continued networking
Congrats, are you Canada or US?
US
Division?
IB
Same - IB
NY?
Anyone concerned about culture? Been looking though other threads about the state of BMO in 2020...
same here seems like downtrend and pretty gloomy of a place
everyone i spoke to said the opposite lol
Would definitely say culture at the bank is very group dependent in the US and much of the negative sentiment is around Canadian groups.
.
wait so they opened apps for targets...?????
Looks like the people who have first rounds are from referrals. Don't think the formal application is open online.
Their apps were open in early june and closed a month ago?
yes
BMO accelerated their recruiting processes for IB and Corp Banking. I have a first-round tomorrow for Corp Banking which had a June 12th application deadline.
Comparable MMs like KeyBanc are closing their IB applications soon as well.
do you know how the process looks for S&T?
S&T had first rounds last week
Key is not a comp at all. Key has 0 presence in league tables.
How likely are you to get a first round if you have a referral? Had one but didn't get a first round.
depends on if the person actually referred you to the recruiting captain/HR, depends on if it was an analyst/associate or higher up, and whether or not they just forwarded your resume or did they say "this kid is awesome, give him an interview". I received an interview after speaking with a higher up at BMO and I'm not from a target U.S. school for BMO Capital Markets.
did you have the interview yet?
Anyone applying for Chicago IB? I want to know if it is just phone interview -> superday, or if there is a round inbetween.
anyone know if they are still sending out first rounds?
I think IB is this week and S&T was last week. Don't have timeline for corp banking...
1st rounds for IB i know were the last week and 2 weeks ago too, not sure how many they have left to send out and S&T wrapping up by end of July or early Aug
Has anyone received a second round that interviewed this week?
interviewed last week and heard for 2nd round this week, think the turnaround should be 1 week
how was first round?
How was the superday? If you got the offer, Congrats!
Anyone have updates?
Anybody get superday for global markets s&t?
Yep I did
Heard they canceled the entire superday process for global markets? delayed til later in Sept is that true?
Have a superday tomorrow for IB Chicago... Anyone else?
I didn't apply to chicago but congrats! Did you also apply to NY?
Just Chicago
Anyone else hear they cut off S&T recruiting and interviews for next summer altogether for now?
where did you hear this?
a couple people i know received email from recruiter saying this.. very unusual. did anyone/all receive it for S&T?
Are regular apps out?
Bump
On the website it states they don't open applications until August 1st - through January. I would recommend reading their website for details. I presume from what I am reading is that they will start doing the same with regards to campus visits.
anyone hear back from superdays today for NY
I finished up my superdays on Friday. Haven't heard back yet.
Does anyone know when the last day of superdays is this week (for IB)?
The last slot in my invitation was for Tuesday (tmrw)
Thanks yeah I thought Tuesday was the last day too
My last available day was Tuesday for Chicago - did the superday today.... If anyone hears back from CHI LMK
Finished up my superday for IB in NYC on Friday (July 24). Has anyone heard back yet? I don't know if they're waiting to finish up the rest of the interviews to send out offers or not. I'm assuming I got put on the wait list.
I have heard that they wait until all super-days are done to send out offers, hopefully that is Tomorrow
DELETE
When did you get the offer? How many spots still available?
Delete
Anyone get an offer from NY?
Any updates from NY?
Hey, was your BMO superday for target schools specific? I goto a non-target so was just wondering if I'm late to the process
No, I'm a non-target but got a referral from a VP which gave me a first round. They will potenitally have another round (depending on how many offers they give out in the next few days), but you'd for sure need a relativly senior person to talk to HR on your behalf
Anyone know how many more rounds of interviews there will be? When do they usually hold their final superday in recent years?
Has anyone gotten an offer for s&t yet?
