I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at World Bank Group in Jan 2022
Interview
The Interview process was well spaced out and was clearly defined at the beginning. I would suggest future applicants to prepare read up to the website and match their resume to the Job requirement.

Interview
Submit the application
Hireview interview - rejected at this stage
Below is a brief summary of each section in Hireview interview:
Section 1: Scenario-based questions where you have to choose what you would most and least likely do.
Section 2: A list of 64 statements, selecting which one resonates with you the most. Some statements were repetitive.
Section 3: One video question (3 minutes).
Section 4: A case with a set of 8 questions, most of them numerical. I found this section a bit strange since the questions were not full sentences - more like words or phrases.
