Standard hiring process: online tests, phone and face to face interviews.
Phone, and face to face, interviews relied heavily on case study work, to assess the candidate's suitability for the position. The experience, regardless of whether one moves forward through the process or not, is valuable and offers insight into the activity of Finalta.

I was invited to take part in the first round of the interview process. An email was sent with two links to the assessments. The first link redirected me to an online problem solving test (PST) that comprised of 24 questions which were supposed to be completed in an hour. The second link tested my writing skills. The instructions were to write a memo to a bank CEO advising him on the acquisition of another bank.
