I originally applied at the start of the year for a May start but co-vid delays meant I finally started in October. The first task involved skills tests and personality test. These included playing some online games and then a ranking statements activity. The next phase was answering some questions to camera that were recorded and then reviewed by the recruitment team. If you progress further there is an assessment day. Due to lockdowns this was held online and split into three parts. 1/ A group exercise, where your interactions with each other are observed as well as your success with the task 2/ A 15 minute presentation that had to be prepared in advance on a topic selected by the bank followed by 15 minutes questioning around your presentation and finally 3/ a 1-2-1 interview with a member of the HR team

I started with the assessments which asked me to find patterns and examined my responses to work place situations and personality. Then I continued to the recorded interview questions. After passing this, I attended the virtual assessment day which consisted of group work, a presentation, and a one on one interview with two members of Santander.
