Gunvor Grad Program
Has anyone heard anything about this program? As far as I understand it is brand new. Interested in hearing what skills the firm might be looking for.

I reckon the word program is used loosely here. As with most things inside trade shops, there will be minimal structure. I’d recommend a TDP program at a major over this to begin your career.
d
agree. Worked at a trade shop and hated how it wasnt structured. Wish i initially started at a TDP
Invitations for the assessment round are out.
did everyone get a hirevue?
Yeah just got the Hirevue invite. Does anyone know how many actually get through the hirevue
Anything after Hirevue?
What questions did you have during the HireVue ?
Hey man, what questions did you get for the hirevue at Gunvor, I missed the deadline but was wondering if you could share some insight for when I apply next year
Just 2 games as for the deadline i think it’s open til 13 December
Any news after hirevue game? I read that the preselection period end on 12/15/23.
Nothing here
Where did you read about the preselection period? I've only read that they intend to extend invitations for the next round before the New Year
They wrote on the job offer :
Screening & Assessment (Up until December 15, 2023): Our recruiters will diligently screen applications as they are submitted and match the information to our selection criteria.
Initial interview invitations are out
Is this for trading in Geneva?
Is this for trading in Geneva?
When did you apply?
for which grad did u receive invitations? Trading/supply or quant?
what is the time frame for the interview (is it next week?)
was today mate
Has anyone got an interview invite? if not shall I email my designated recruiter?
hey, was wondering if you received any news from your recruiter for the interviews?
Anybody get an invite for Singapore or Houston?
I have not received anything for Houston. Their website still has my application as under review.
They've been emailing & calling selected candidates since Friday for Houston - was told they're sending out formal super day invitations later this week.
Yeah got invited for super day which is happening in about a month
singapore trading&supply?
Houston
Anyone have numbers for comp for trade/supply and quant analyst?
also, does the quant role lead to trading down the line, or will you get siloed into a research team?
Anyone receive an official invite this week
I haven’t - honestly, I’m going to ascribe it to HR incompetence vs being dinged.
Still haven't received an official invite. It probably got delayed from the date they told me if I had to guess
guess I spoke too soon lol, just received the email
Emails are out, best of luck everyone.
Is this for Houston or Singapore?
Houston - no clue about where Singapore is at in the process.
What’s the size of this program?
just wondering if anyone received the offer recently?
or rejection and feedback?
Nobody I know has
Considering the timeline it took them to send info for the superday I expect next week we’ll hear back
any news on offers for the Geneva cohort?
bump
Geneva hasn’t heard anything either?
Houston offers are going out
when did you receive the results?
Looks like offer are out. For those who went through the process, how was it and what was it like?
Long and drawn out. It felt obvious this was their first time doing this with multiple timelines given that ended up being wrong. That being said, this is probably the least competitive year it's going to be. Timeline has already been moved up a month for next year's cycle, and is now closer to Trafi's & Glencore's timeline. Not sure how all the super days went, but Houston's Trading & Supply Chain was relatively straightforward. You had opportunities to discuss the market, ask intelligent questions, and show off your fundamental knowledge. No one commodity was centric, and being able to talk about all of them seemed important. The traders interviewing people seemed to genuinely enjoy it too, which was nice compared to the mixed bag in banking. Wide variety of backgrounds for candidates - some were in their final year of undergrad, others wrapping up MBAs/Masters, some had 1-2 years of experience in energy already, and some were Gunvor interns the prior summer.
Thanks. I think I’ll apply to it after my MBA.
Did you get into the program?
How do you recommend preparing on the technical side for this program beyond the commodities demystified guide? Do you also mind if I PM you?
Read Trafi's other white paper on the economics of commodity trading firms. Edward's Energy Trading & Investing is also a good overview. The books The World for Sale and The King of Oil are also relevant - plus you'll probably find them personally interesting if you want to work in energy commodities. You should know where WTI, Brent, and HH are trading at and what's been driving them. Have a substantiated opinion on where they're going. Know the macro landscape and when news items hit the tape (eg FOMC, CPI, etc.). Know your stats well. One of the things that helped separate me was stats, experience with R, and ability to succinctly explain basic stuff (eg what's r^2 actually mean). Dig into anything that interests you when it comes to the infrastructure (eg difference between Panamax vs Suezmax vs Aframax, or what's more economical/faster pipeline or boat?). McKinsey's Refinery Reference Desk has short definitions on a ton of relevant things (eg. different grades of crude + their gravity & sulfur, or what's the difference between an FCC vs coker?)
How many people did they take
Hi! Anyone applied for the data science/quantitative analytics grad role? Would be grateful if you could share how your superday went and how we could prepare for it!
