U mean we have the luxury of hiring "hot chick" graduates? That is news to me and very much your wishful thinking.

I would think brain is way more important given it is rare commodity in the talent market.

I think psychologically for anyone that rejected, it is better to think that he/she is not hot chick than being less brainy and less knowledgeable, prime reasons for rejection.

Reiterate, management's approval for 3 fresh grads, 2 for my team given our successful recruitment strategy, including multi-channel talent sourcing and insisting only on the most qualified candidates.

Easy or difficult is subjective.

We have hired fresh grads from low yat forum who PMed me to submit CV and they are now performing very well.

There are candidates who got rejected as well.

For me, you need to know your stuff and are able to research on your own. Honestly, your questions are unwarranted in my eyes. We perceive the person asking such questions have not done their own research sufficiently.

Indeed, IB IB, not those remisier etc, are rather harsh environment. Until you have listed company CEO breathing down your neck, you dunno how tough things can be for a junior in IB.

dun need so difficult. we like intern

yes.

I normally get back to you guys quite fast but have been bz lately.

Yes, recruitment continues. Sending CV via PM is welcomed

Cleared most back log

Replied. May not be the answer you like but honest input, I promise

Y dun u PM ur CV over instead of me PM u?

Just being frank here. What do you expect me to say?

Have to disagree.

My second ivy league intern just finished his tenure with us.

Like the previous guy, he was good at picking up new things and came in with very good attitude.

On top of that, he could survive in the extreme conditions that we are operating in.

Our interview process is designed to identify this type of candidates out of the many that we have seen. And for once, I am going to share on this.





What is our process?

Truth is we are most likely to have screened through 100 CVs - which i usually screen for 5 mins each and say keen (50) or not keen (the other 50) - so don't be upset if I concluded in two words. We cannot afford to give detailed feedback and we don't owe you that.

And we will speak with 50 candidates for about 10 mins each. A lot of you have gone through that personally.

Then we move about 20 candidates that we would spend two hours each managing the process or interviewing or testing.

Of that, we may look at 10 final candidates and compare one to another (few more hours each). Once we are happy, we choose 1-3 people and show to the bosses and about 50% got an offer from there.

and if you do the maths, I spend 100 hours each time and my recruitment results has so far been very impressive in identifying the right candidates.





What is the drawbacks?

I tend to have 30% of candidates who cannot handle the rejection well or perhaps my non-sugar-coated way of saying no is too harsh.

I suggest whoever thinks they fit into this category please inform me of their preference for me to ignore him / her than saying no.



Atlantiz0 is based in KL or SG?

If you are top 10 among all, your chance is 3/10.

Problem is a lot of number 68 think they are top 5.

U r 13 months into your new job. Should hang on.

I will call you out for coffee soon. We can discuss then.

Market is very small. trust me, you are in a decent place.

go check your linkedin bro

meanwhile, candidate evaluation still ongoing

Ya.

PM me your CV still.

We look at engineers. In fact, it is in our ads that we seek engineering grads.

Unfortunately, I have a look blind policy, unless you are qualified for round 3,4 and 5, we likely won't have face to face.

Ah bean needs to work, no time to entertain 100 such requests.

Selfish your head, talk to my ivy league interns or the 1 from imperial college and you know you are no where near them, doesn't matter which uni u grads.

Your thinking is even backward compared to a lot of non Uni grads.

Mana ada?

We still continue to speak to candidate.

I have to agree but if you have a degree from top uni, ah bean still wants to hear from you.

Replied.

Very good teaser. I like your uni.

PM your CV over. Let's have a chat ASAP.

Oh, we nvr pay that well. We do not work ppl that hard.

Pushing limits on certain days are expected though. Not something an average guy would accept.

Similarly, 10 years later, the top achiever's package could be better than a junior audit partner at big 4.


N if you want to be the lazy ibanker, your life is better than audit, pay could be equal. Not that bad, but I somehow think that it is this type of ppl that make us appeared more hardwoking than we are.

So the rumours that we work 110 -120 hours every week is so untrue.

Btw, the 50-60 hours week is also not something u should expect every week.
