Groupe Crédit du Nord Interview Questions
& Process

It started with a 70-question psychological test that wasn't really significant. Then, an elimination recruitment day in two parts: first, a group session in the morning where we had to speak in front of and amongst candidates, with recruiters assessing our speaking and group behavior. If that went well, the afternoon had two interview phases with HR management and the team lead, focusing on our ability to defend our points. If that part was also positive, the final stage involved an interview with the agency director and another management person, where they put us in situations based on our CV. Note: no need to stress, if you know your professional skills and what you can bring, you'll rarely hesitate with questions. Also, the managers are super welcoming and smiling!

First meeting with HR then with the manager (interview in March 2018). Friendly process at the office - questions were pretty simple/no tricks to better understand the candidate's motivations and future plans. The manager will try to understand why the candidate is a good fit for the role and if their plans align with the position offered. Pretty quick response (2 weeks). In this case, they were mostly looking for people who could do an apprenticeship, which might be an issue for some candidates like me who can only do 6 months.

First, there was a recruiter call by phone where they asked about your professional and educational background. They wanted to know why you chose finance and why banking. Then, there was a face-to-face interview with the directors. This part involved motivation questions, aimed at understanding your personality, and also current events questions.

The interview process was aggressive and provocative, focusing on personality. It felt like they had no real interest. The recruitment methods were detestable. They promised to hire me but never got back to me. It wasn't a big loss though. The reviews here confirm my experience. Avoid this place.
