Application Process & Interviews at Security Bank Corporation

Interview process was smooth. I spoke with a recruiter and then the next and final interview was with the Head of Talent Acquisition. I also received feedback pretty quickly after every step!

I think it's great but the process takes a bit long depending on what you're applying for I guess.

There are HR interviews and hiring manager interviews (2-3). For staff, they usually undergo online exam.

Easy to follow and recruitment knows what they are doing. It would be cool to have an interview with someone of the same role you're applying in the future - gets an idea of what's really happening.

Too many interviews - 3 to 4. We can shorten it to 2

Streamlined processes as much as possible. We're able to identify bottlenecks and address them with corresponding business units

Initial interview from HR and then down to AR and RH. Checking of credentials and credit records. Applicant should be cleared prior signing of Job Offer.

I commend our Talent Acquisition team for their efficiency

Process is fast and timely

Very quick processing

The interview process depends on the role that the candidate is applying for. They may undergo online exam, HR interview, and hiring manager interview. Once candidate passes the screening process, next step would be job offer and negotiation stage.

If the candidate is really good we have a really fast process, depending really on role and team.

We have been continuously improving the process and I am excited for what is ahead of us.

We usually do our HR assessments through MS Teams and in this way, candidates are more available to do the assessment. After which, the candidates are endorsed for Business Unit interview that is scheduled for face-to-face meetings.

I had 3 levels of interview. Hiring process were easy to follow.

Strcutured interview process.

Recruiters are kind

As one handling the staff, this is very convenient. We source candidates at sourcing channels, schedule them for exam, once passed we schedule them for interview and assess them. After that, it's offer time. Usually takes 2 to 3 days for sourcing to job offer. It takes time also on how long the candidates take their examinations right away or not.

After the HR interview, once passed, we need to endorse them to managers/business units for their perusal, once agreed, the applicant is scheduled for their interview.
