As I have not seen a discussion of this topic, I thought it would be a good idea to start one. With the application opening next week, can anyone provide insight into the past few years process? Feel free to discuss any and all topics related to the 2020 SA position. Thanks!

What I've heard from school alum is hirevue to phone screen to super day, unless you get on an accelerated process then I think it's hirevue straight to phone screen with the hirevue being more of a formality. But I don't know how the accelerated process works with new york - for the other offices it's apparently usually through the insight days.
Heard the same thing from a recruiter. Hirevue's are seen by two different people (one HR and one in the division) they each give you a score out of 5 on three different things: communication, knowledge, and one other thing I forgot. Then they average out both their scores, and give a phone screen to the top x amount of people.
will you get a phone screen if you have a referral (Vp level in additions to analysts)?
Can you give an example of some knowledge questions they might prompt you to answer in Hirevue? Do they give you time to think? Thank you!
I'm still waiting for a response to my 2019 SA application. Hope I get it!
Good luck man, that would be an awesome opportunity.
At Goldman IBD target. recruiter & VP on school recruitment team both said Hirevue -> Superday. My guess is that non-targets will have additional phone interview b4 superday.
nope, same deal across the board confirmed today with VP in recruiting.
Hireview ---> superday for all candidates
Can confirm.
3 days to GS apps! Let's get this bread!!!
So I'm sorry if I sound dumb but does everyone/most people get a hirevue? Where does the quality of your resume/past experience/GPA factor in? Is the point of networking to get a HireVue or to pass the HireVue stage?
Again, I'm sorry if this is basic knowledge. I just don't know much.
From my understanding, the whole reason they started hirevues was so that they could give access to far more people. At first, they would only interview mainly people at targets but now they are able to interview far more people. If you meet the criteria (GPA, Class year, etc) you should receive a hirevue. This is according to my understanding and the people I have spoken with. Hope that helps.
No, not everyone gets a hireview. Think of it as a first round phone screen as the next step is the superday
Filtered resume scan (keywords), next step is hirevue, then an actual person reviews your data/application documents. First round and any face to face interview has been completely replaced with Hirevue and other algos (don't know if this is true anywhere other than BB). GL
Is it necessary to have people at the firm pushing for you to get a Superday, or does the networking only kick in after that? AKA, is it too late if you don't have a strong network at GS as of now?
you need to network for hireview and superday, confirmed by VP who is involved in recruiting
Is this just for IBD, or does it apply to Securities & Equity Research as well? Is it too late to start now or is it worth reaching out to people/alum
Does this also apply to London? We didn't have many on campus GS events yet people still got interviews etc.
It's always worth reaching out and networking. That doesn't end when you get the interview, the superday, the job. Even on the job you want to continue networking. The bigger and better (quality) network = more quality opportunities throughout your career. An extreme example of this would be a good friend of mine. He's a F150 CFO. He has his current gig because he worked for the firm's current CEO at a different firm several yrs (and jobs) ago. When the new CEO assembled his team, he called my buddy and recruited him over (from a CFO spot at a different company). They had kept in touch over the years, liked each other, etc.
Networking is not just for getting started, it's about staying in motion.
Anyone get an email from HR saying that you are considered to be put on the accelerated process?
How do they have your contact info? Did you do one of the insight programs?
Correct me if I'm wrong but I attended an insight day and they said that they weren't going to be doing an accelerated process. This may have changed
Did you get an email like that? I attended an insight day and they said that they were not doing any "accelerated" processes. PM me
Are yall rising sophomores or juniors? Is there an accelerated process for the sophomore timeline?
Received the same email about "accelerated" interview process.
The words “accelerated” were not used, but I did get a personal email from an HR person about looking forward to being in touch in the application process with a link to apply. Not sure if that’s what you’re referring to
That would make more sense, yeah
No there was a separate email for an accelerated process.
Anyone here applying to CIMD?
Yes, just got my hirevue email today.
^
Mind sharing the CIMD Questions. I applied to a regional office and just got the hirevue. I will venmo you just DM me.
So just to clarify, are there phone screens or is it just hirevue --> Super day? I have heard mixed things.
No phone screen
Upon attempting to apply for an investment banking SA position, I was met with an interesting conflict. I selected the "New York City" area in the application and turns out there is no option for this area for an IB SA. What???
Edit: It says that if you receive an interview, you can discuss movement another position if you were to get the SA, but after you send in this application you can not change the positions you applied to. I'm going to send in the application for Global Investment Research in this case and if I get an interview I will take it for there...
I have a similar issue.
Same lol
Yup no IBD for New York???
same here lol. there is no IBD in many popular offices. I'm shocked. don't know what to do
Maybe, it's just an error??? lol
Doubt it really, other top locations dont have IBD
Maybe but I've already submitted an application for GIR so if they fix this "error" I won't be able to even change it for myself, I'll just have to hope for an interview and tell them in person.
I'm also getting the same result as well.
.
What if there's simply no IBD for Ny
there is definitely IBD in NY. I just talked with alumni working in GS IBD in NYC two weeks ago. it seems maybe NY office does not want IBD interns
That wouldn't make sense at all
.
After filling in summer analyst and 2020 in their respective fields, i'm not seeing new york at all. i see melbourne, perth, sydney, and tokyo. anyone else having this problem?
Because GS opens the application on July 1. It's July 1 in Asia region but it's still Jun 30 in NYC. Guys relax.
Don't know whether to apply or wait for them to fix the error? edit: there is definitely IBD in SF & NY- went to recruiting events for them in spring. It's odd for it to not show up.
I'm waiting a day or two before considering the other locations that had the division. I think LA and Chicago were available.
I emailed our school recruiter and the recruiting team in NY so hoping to hear back from them before applying.
Dallas, Salt Lake City & Houston had IBD show up in the list.
It's almost certainly an error -- I would just wait until the morning to apply.
My recommendation is to avoid submitting an app right now for any programs you would not actually want to join! There is no harm in waiting twelve hours to apply.
It's showing up correctly now. Submitted applications for NYC, SFO, and Houston
Are apps rolling like JPM?
It’s rolling but you should submit asap. That counts.
For NYC IBD, do we have a limited time frame to complete the Hirevue? For example MS gave us 48 hours.
did you already get an invite?
2.5 days. You get the Hirevue link 8pm on Friday and are expected to submit by 12pm the following Monday. Quite fast.
x
feeling better about my chances after reading this thread..
LMAO
anyone got HireVue for IBD yet?
its not going to be out so soon, it will take a min of a week to two weeks, cuz they are selective about hireview
got mine today, needs to be submitted by July 15th
Are the questions all behavioral questions?
Have you gotten the actual Hirevue? I only got the email telling me I was picked for the Hirevue. They said I would get it by 8 PM EST tonight but I haven't received it.
Are they sending Hirevue quickly for London ?
Can anyone confirm, is the hirevue automatic? I want to make sure I have time to complete it this week if so.
It's not automatic.
Thank you.
The hirevue will not be automatic as it is somewhat selective and takes the place of a first-round call. I would expect them to start coming out in a week or two.
Thank you.
Can anyone elaborate more on this program? Is this an IB sophomore internship only for diversity candidates or is it consumer/investment management/ securities as listed on an application I found online? If its the latter, is consumer/investment management or securities better for a IB internship junior year?
I go to a target for IB if that helps.
Thanks
.
which city did you apply to
.
I know the mock hirevue's are out for the insight program, is that what you are referring to?
.
Just wondering if anyone knows the recruiting timeline? particularly for securities
Only seeing Bengaluru, Salt Lake City, and Tokyo, as location options for Summer Analyst position. Anyone seeing anything else?
Change your program year above that
Has anyone heard back?
Got an email from someone in HR but that's it
What did the email say?
Highly doubt stuff will move until next Monday at the earliest
does anyone have any idea on the "2nd period" noted on GS Careers? will spots for IB even exist at that stage?
bump on this
Talked to a VP and apparently second period of hirevues will be sent out in august.
does anyone get this error when trying to apply to an additional position?
"We have noticed that you are trying to apply to a combination of Positions that is not valid. Please click the 'Apply Now' link in the left menu to select another position."
Clicking Apply Now doesn't work.
Has anyone heard anything yet? either hirevue or phone interviews. Does anyone know the timeline.
I go to a target, if that helps!
Apparently hirevues are going to be out in the next week or two with superdays being split into two waves, late July and early to mid August. Heard from a contact in the bank.
Is that for IB only? Or in general?
To add to this, my contact told me that you will only be considered for the first wave of hirevues if you applied within the first 5? (he did not know the exact cut off, but said it was definitely under a week after opening) days of the app opening
Anybody get the hirevue yet?
the resume I submitted has my old major gpa, but I cant edit the app. Should I just worry about this if I get further in the process? The cumulative gpa I chose on the drop down is still correct so idk how much it matters.
Anyone heard back yet? Just curious
Not yet.
which offices did you apply to?
Nope
Does anyone's status on the portal not say "Application Received?" e.g. does anyone's already say "Under Review" or something like that?
Mine says “application received” for all 3.
same
mine has been updated to "Under Review" for IBD NY
Mine also says under review for IBD NY
Mine says Under Review and has since Monday.
For those that say under review, target, semi, or non? and junior or sophomore?
Semi target, rising junior
Semi-target, rising junior
semi target junior
Semi target rising junior
Under review; USC; Junior
Is everyone whose app says under review ib? Any cimd under review or anyone know timeline for cimd?
Aye USC too fight on lol
Non-target, rising junior
non target, rising junior
Is it just for IBD NY? has anyone else's status changed for other programs?
I guess its fair to say rising Juniors are going to be screened before sophomores from the comments above
Deleted
I applied July 1st. Didn't check portal till today. Says Application under review, applied to LA, SF, NY. UCLA junior with ib and pe experience for whatever that's worth.
Under review for LA & NYC, received for CHI. USC with IB experience
First resume pull is July 19th according to an Analyst
Wdym by resume pull
Anyone do their hirevue for New York Merchant Banking Division: REPIA yet?
Did you get the Hirevue?
Yes, I got it on Wednesday morning and it had to be submitted before today. I submitted it yesterday.
So I’m guessing no one in IBD has received a Hirevue invite yet?
Not that I know of
