Recruitment process for China Merchants Bank’s autumn recruitment

Bank autumn campus recruitment generally starts in early September every year and lasts until the end of December. It is mainly divided into 6 links:

Announcement, online application briefing, written examination, interview, physical examination and signing

1. Announcement From the end of August to October every year, banks will publish campus recruitment announcements on their official websites, marking the official start of the annual autumn recruitment. Last year, the online application time of some banks

The announcements of the five major banks were mainly released in September every year, so September is also called the announcement month for autumn recruitment. The announcement mainly contains important information such as recruitment conditions, recruitment areas, recruitment positions, recruitment procedures, etc. Therefore, whether you meet the requirements and which positions you want to go to are all selected at this stage

2. After the online application announcement is released, candidates need to go to the bank’s official website to register. This process is called online application. state. The online application cycle ranges from 15 days to 2 months. The peak period is generally mid-to-early October every year, so October is also called the online application month for autumn recruitment. During the online application, candidates will choose different branches or sub-branches, positions, written test locations, etc. based on their actual situation; banks will also choose different branches or sub-branches, positions, written test locations, etc. based on the candidates’ graduation school, English level, academic performance, university experience, relevant certificates, application area, Candidates will be screened based on their appearance, appearance, etc., and only those who meet the requirements will be eligible for the written examination.

3. Information Session

During the online application cycle, in order to improve the efficiency and quality of recruitment, many banks will organize campus information sessions at universities in big cities across the country. During the presentation, the bank will attract outstanding college students to apply for the exam by displaying its corporate culture, products and businesses, development prospects, advantages, etc. At the same time, an initial interview (abbreviated as: initial interview) will be organized at the seminar. Students who perform well in the initial interview will have the opportunity to obtain the bank's online PASS card application on the spot (directly qualifying for the written examination).

4. Written test After the online application deadline, the bank will screen the candidates' resumes and finalize the written test list. The written test notice will be sent to the candidates in the form of text messages, emails, etc. 3 to 15 days before the test. The bank written examination is generally conducted by a third-party evaluation agency, and then a national unified computer-based examination is conducted. Most of the exam dates are concentrated on a weekend from the end of October to the beginning of December. Since key banks with a large number of applicants generally conduct written exams in November every year, November is also called the written exam month for autumn recruitment. The bank written test mainly tests four parts: general employment quality assessment (EPI), English, comprehensive knowledge, and career assessment. The career assessment is not included in the total score.

5. Interview After the written examination, each first-level branch will organize an interview on its own. Due to the differences between different banks and different regions, the release time of interview notices also varies greatly. Overall, December is the peak period for bank interviews, so December is also called the interview month for autumn recruitment. The interview formats of banks are mainly leaderless group discussions and semi-structured interviews. Some branches also have special formats such as debate competitions, role plays, and speeches. Interviews at large state-owned commercial banks generally consist of two rounds, and the two rounds of interviews are conducted on the same day. Interviews at joint-stock commercial banks generally consist of two, three or even four rounds, and the interviews are conducted separately. The written test scores will no longer be brought into the interview.

6. Physical examination and contract signing After the last round of interviews, the bank will finalize the list of candidates based on the number of recruits and notify everyone to undergo a physical examination. The physical examination is divided into two types: equal physical examination and differential physical examination. If the number of people undergoing physical examination is equal to the number of people recruited, it is an equal physical examination; if the number of people undergoing physical examination is greater than the number of people recruited, it is a differential physical examination. The differential physical examination means that before the physical examination, the bank has determined the list of people to be hired, but it does not know whether these people are healthy or whether some of them have given up, so they adopt the differential physical examination method for admission. For example, if the number of admissions is 100, the bank will notify 130 people to take the physical examination, and the extra 30 people will serve as waitlists. If someone fails the physical examination or does not sign the contract in the end, the qualified person among the 30 will take the place. After the physical examination, different branches will issue a signing notice within 3 days to 1 month according to their own circumstances. After the candidates sign the contract, they can finally enter the bank to work.

In addition, there will be new changes in the processes of some banks: Change 1: Written test after interview

Usually interviews are conducted after the written test, but last year some After the bank applies online, it will conduct an interview first and then a written test. For example, in the 2018 Jiaozuo China Travel Bank campus recruitment, the written test will be conducted after the initial interview.

Generally, the initial interview at a bank is a screening process. The written test and interview are conducted on the same day, which effectively saves recruitment time. Of course, the friends have relatively less time to prepare for the exam. There are also some banks that are special. The written test has just ended and interviews started the next day, such as China Construction Bank Zhejiang Branch.

So students, don’t wait until you receive the written test notice before preparing for the interview. You may receive the interview notice before the written test. Be sure to prepare in advance for change 2: conduct the interview after the physical examination

Do you have to go to the bank after receiving the physical examination notice? NO! Last year, some banks, such as China Construction Bank and Agricultural Bank of China, conducted physical examinations the next day before conducting interviews. Why is this? There are two main reasons: Competition for talents. The physical examination time for autumn recruitment interviews is almost the same. In order to gain time to compete for outstanding talents, some banks have adjusted the physical examination to before the interview to increase the chance of recruitment. Accelerate the pace of recruitment. This allows time for additional recruitment, eliminating the need for spring recruitment, reducing time, material and manpower costs, and improving recruitment efficiency.

So, everyone must prepare in advance, preparation in advance is the best way!
