Recruitment

The Girls’ Day School Trust will provide HSBC with a short list of twelve candidates from across the UK. The selection criteria has been agreed with the HSBC Graduate Team to assist in a short list process. An application form has been developed focusing on the key capabilities used for HSBC Graduate Recruitment; Leadership, Drive and Personal Development and Customer Drive.
