I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at HSBC (Pune) in Sept 2010
Interview
I had an initial knowledge of HSBC GLT. The interview process was planned and systematic. I had to wait a bit for the 2nd round (Technical interview), but it went well. Questions were only from my previous work experience. Then it followed with an HR round. I had to wait for an week for the offer, as they had earlier intimated. I got the hard copy within days after that. I can recall Celestine Fernandes, HR, with whom my interaction was very delightful. I had my doubts and he cleared them in no time. Look forward to join and have a great career with HSBC GLT :)

An outsourcing position. Don't really think this position is relevante to my experience but headhunter suggested that the hiring manager had viewed my CV and suggested an interview. Overall, it was a position to help the technical team understand the need from the business side.
