RBC SA 2021 Recruiting Thread

Hey all, Decided to start this thread for all those recruiting for RBC SA 2021. Apps have been open since fall, but if the timeline is anything like last year IB recruiting will be soon. Also curious for timelines for other divisions.

For SA 2021, even though apps opened in ~Oct and are due March 1st, I was told nothing would be happening until early March and the process is not rolling. So like the person above said I think phone screens/on campus first rounds starting in march sounds right. Besides RBC, what else have you guys seen open already?

 

It was implied to me that you just apply on the website, and if you go to a core school your application will be specifically flagged when you selected your school in the drop-down box

 

I've been trying for a week and it keeps saying that they are having technical difficulties.

 

This sounds about right. They did their diversity process (very short) in March last year. And end of March was when they kicked off phone screens for everyone else.

 

If it's a superday and you are getting good news you will hear back that same day unless this was on a Friday afternoon in which case you'll get a call sometime on Monday.

 

Have any non-targets been able to apply online? It keeps saying technical difficulties for me.

 

When you say non-target, do you mean non-target for RBC or general school perception?

 

How much do they care about networking? Is it possible to get a first round without networking?

 

Based off of what I’ve heard through networking if you go to a RBC core school you don’t have to network to land an offer. If you don’t , consider yourself out if you don’t network. But even if you go to a core school having an internal push always helps.

 

Pretty sure its been all diversity so far but I'm not positive? If not they likely haven't done much interviewing, I go to one of their primary target schools and don't know anyone so far who's gotten an interview.

 

It's next week, However something really weird is that RBC seems to have less interview spots then people that get the invitation. Like they mentioned in the email to "sign up ASAP" and when I went to pick a spot almost everything was gone already... No doubt some people are already canned.

URGENT were 1st round interviews face to face video or over the phone?
