Recruiters/Interviewers: What are the most impressive qualities of successful IB candidates?
What makes candidates stand out in the recruitment process? Advice from non-recruiters also more than welcome!
Not a recruiter but worked with plenty during lateraling.
Best candidates have one thing: they can tell a coherent story about why banking.
Technical skills are table stakes. Everyone can build a DCF.
What separates people:
Most impressive thing? When someone can walk through market dynamics affecting their target sector. Shows they actually think about the business.
Least impressive? Generic "I love finance" BS everyone says.
Thanks I really appreicate the advice as I want to avoid those kind of traps that would set me behind in final interviews/group discussions. Would it be possible for me to schedule a chat or message you a bit more about your experience as that would be super helpful. Cheers
Few quick things to avoid in finals:
Most people bomb because they sound like every other candidate. Be specific about why you want their group at their bank.
Hope this helps, if you have any other questions PM me.
Thank you very much, really appreciate the insight again and if I have any questions I'll PM you in the future. Cheers!
