How Jefferies recruitsTypical for Investment Banking
- 1Application
Resume, cover letter at some banks, school and GPA screens. Networking often decides who gets a first round.
- 2HireVue or video
Two to five recorded behavioral prompts, sometimes one technical. Thirty seconds to prepare, two minutes to answer.
- 3First round
One or two 30 minute calls with an analyst or associate. Walk me through your resume, why banking, why us, then accounting and valuation technicals.
- 4Superday
Three to six back to back interviews with associates, VPs, and MDs. Technicals get harder, fit gets more personal, and at least one person tests how you handle pressure.
- 5Offer
Usually within days. Exploding deadlines at smaller shops.
Jefferies does not state its process on its own site, so these are the usual stages.
