I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (London, England)
Interview
Telephone interview. Advised that my day rate was too high but I was prepared to be flexible for the right role. Second face to face interview at 1 CP. Arrived at 14.30 - two hours ahead of the scheduled time. Was shocked to see a huge two story 'pub' on the roundabout directly in front of 1 CP full of Barclays employees drinking alcohol - the place was full when I arrived and full when I left - this was mid week!
I have banked with Barclays for 20 + years (mortgage, savings, personal and business) and the staff on the front line are exceptional.
However, Corporate are completely different, sitting in their 'ivory tower' - clearly the lessons that should have been learnt from the Banking crisis in 2008 have had no impact whatsoever.
I applied for a HR Transformation Manager role. I was contacted by the Team Lead for Talent Acquisition for an initial conversation and asked for time slots, I replied promptly to be left with no response and then fast follow rejected via an automated workday notification.
Poor experience, lack of communication, misuse of time.
Two stage interview process, one with internal recruiter and then hiring manager. Both were professional and asked standard questions during both interviews. Explained further about the role during both stages.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (Asia) in Aug 2024
