Online form. Then a video interview where I was asked about my motivation for being a broker and an article that I had read recently in the Financial Times. The telephone interview was thorough, went through my CV, asked about broking, general market awareness, best achievement, working in a team etc
4 questions on a Video Interview, 10 minute Telephone Interview, Two day Assessment Centre. Video interview was standard, similar to others I've done, phone interview mostly competency based, assessment centre held interviews and presentations as well as group exercises
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at BGC Group (London, England) in Mar 2018
Interview
Applied through recruiter. First stage video interview, very simple, outlining interests and commercial awareness. Second stage was telephone interview with recruiters going through motivations. Final stage was two day assessment centre, going through group tasks, presentations and numerical reasoning test, evening drinks with all levels of management ending in a final interview. The whole process was pleasant and staff were interesting people. Only issue being upon receiving results of the AC no feedback was given until I actively asked for it, furthermore it was extremely brief and made very little sense. Seems like they already knew who they were bringing in before the whole process even began.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at BGC Group
Interview
there was none, it was referral based. Very easy if you know the right person. If you are older the interview process might be more intense or not. Just depends on what your book looks like at that point.
