Help as a Canadian for London Recruiting SA/FT

Wondering how recruiting goes in London:

-Does HR or analysts screen CVs?

-Why are there so many Hirevues/OAs?

-Are the interviews really technical?

-How good are conversions? Considering extending grad date, but would want to start FT after SA

-Any other advice, especially internationals in London - Was it worth it?

Some context is BB S&T SA experience (not NY), good school, studying business, looking to pivot into IB

How are my chances?
