Numerical invite. 5 days. I think they'll review again before inviting to interview - that's standard.

hr reviews your application, send you test, if you pass, analysts will get a CV book with 10,000 CV's and you might be picked.....probablity is very very low

go to network drinks and get yourself shortlisted

or

get another offer and leverage to an interview at least

I really dont know where you get your information from. In general in a BB Bank, HRs role is to select candidates and not to put CV books together so that every analyst can look at them. Analysts dont get any say for the most part in regard to recruiting newbies. It is essentially job of Associates and those higher up. At smaller places, HR teams are small, often only 1 person. There, the actual teams have to get involved in selecting candidates. These would be boutiques, AM firms and likes.

HR's role in a BB bank is just to do some roadshows on campus and give some presentations and create CV books
Friends in GS, JPM , MS confirmed this..

This forum is monitored by HR at major banks. I am sure they would appreciate your description of their work, Doloris Hiatchi. I work in a BB American bank and I can tell you that generally you are wrong.

I might be wrong but this is what friends in BB banks told me and they told me how they pick CV as well... Different institutions might have different procedures..

Might sound as an easy question, but anyways: I want to get into S&T, tho it seems a bit impossible at the moment. I have two options for summer internships: Citibank (Corporate Banking Division) & Deloitte (Corporate Finance Advisory), both in Romania. The money at Deloitte is considerably better, what do u reckon?

Regarding Citi London - did the SHL test and still haven’t heard of them (applied for S&T)

just completed the s&t citi test, these shl tests are getting too easy now! I don't think I have got a question wrong in them yet this whole cycle with any bank that offers the shl test. and maths is my weak point!

Regardless of the department, the total is roughly 7000-9000 applications for intern positions.

apps are screened before the test!

Citi has already screened the apps and have started handing out decisions

# 22:32, 11th November 2008

It could be that they hire a generic company to go trawl through all of the initial applications and only give the tests out to those who meet the minimum criteria. If the applicant is successful at the tests then their application is screened by the HR, who then hand out ACs (note for S&T internships, Citi doesn't conduct 1st round interbiews) to the most suitable candidates.

So it is possible to get rejected after getting past the testing stage.

# 1:36, 12th November 2008
Well, I dont think that they ve outsourced the initial screening. Before sending me the test, I was asked for some additional info (the email came from the Citi's HR).

For interns too?

So being called to interview is quite something? :)
