Application Process & Interviews at Australian Securities and Investments Commission

Online application, psychometric testing, phone interview, assessment centre and panel interview, in that order.

Fair process. I don't think the employer focuses just on intelligence, but a mix of team work abilities, and your behaviour or attitude to work and others. Interview allowed me to speak to my strong points.

The interview process was rigorous but fair. It included certain elements that I did not encounter in other hiring processes.

Similar to most graduate application processes - the interview and assessment was challenging

The graduate application process includes application, online assessments, video interview and assessment centre.

The grad hiring process was quite standard and quite similar to other grad programs. ASIC had an application, psychometric tests, a video interview and an assessment centre. During the assessment centre we had a group presentation, an individual writing test and an individual interview.

Graduates undergo a fairly rigorous assessment process in order to be accepted into the graduate program. This included an initial written application, cognitive and psychometric testing, a video interview, and face-to-face assessment centre.
