How long is the interview process in CIMB Bank?

[boongaylim]

Can someone help me with these questions:

1. How long does CIMB Bank S'pore take to complete recruitments?
2. Is the decision making based in Singapore or KL?

PM me if needed, and I will reach out to you.

What position?

[boongaylim]

I went to one of the banks here for interviews. After 4 rounds over 2 months, they told me that the position had been put on hold.
Just how wasteful these banks can get.

My brother has been visting HSBC for a back-office role (VP rank). He has already had 12 rounds of interviews in as many as 11 months. There is no end in site. HR told him that there might be still 7-8 rounds over the next 4 months before they make up there mind.

i tot i was reading a boxing forum instead. If there only two or three candidates left, why can't the bank just hire both or them, give them time to show their performance. Such a waste of fifteen months, not only to the interviewee's time, but also the bank's resource.

Foreign banks is like that, especially for this kind of lower level position they know anytime they ask for candidates can find at least a few dozen desperate to sign up, so they take their time & jerk around the applicants.
