BlackRock Group Exercise

All candidates participate in a group assessment. This assesses an individual’s ability to work successfully in a group and communicate effectively with others.

Candidates work in small groups to discuss a solution to a business-related problem. Individuals are given a pack of information. They must prepare individually before discussing their rationale and views in the group.

Ensure to find a balance between speaking up and making your point but without dominating the group. You must show the assessor that you can work well in any situation, especially within a team as that is something that will be expected of you at the company.

This exercise evaluates candidates’ critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and communication skills. Candidates are given information on a business issue they are likely to face in the role.

All BlackRock interviews are held virtually. The first interviews comprise up to two interviews, each lasting 30 minutes, held with a member of the business team that candidates have applied to.

Interviewers will ask questions based on BlackRock’s five core principles:

  • One BlackRock: working collaboratively, having a diverse and inclusive workforce drawing on expertise to bring out the best in each other.

  • Passionate about performance: finding better ways to work with clients, being innovative, and constantly learning about the financial markets, technology, and the business world.

  • Take emotional ownership: having a sense of responsibility, responsible for our client’s futures, the firm’s success, and those we work with. Constantly upholding standards of excellence.

  • Committed to a better future: think about the long term, running a sustainable business, using innovation to find additional ways to serve clients, and helping others achieve financial well-being.

  • Fiduciaries: avoiding conflict of interest by putting the interests of our clients first.

Candidates are also asked about their qualifications and what makes them suitable candidates for the role.

Those applying for technical roles such as software engineering will be asked technical questions relevant to the role they have applied for.

Final Interview

Successful candidates at the first interview stage are invited to attend a virtual round of final interviews. This stage comprises several 30-minute interactive interviews, again with members of the business teams.

Candidates are asked several behavioral questions to determine their suitability for the role, using their past experiences to inform their responses. All behavioral questions are linked to the skills and attributes required for success in the role.

Those applying for technical roles will also be asked additional questions to ascertain their level of technical expertise.

    Interesting

    I have never take a test like this before. While I cannot comment on the quality of questions with regard to what Blackrock normally asks, I can say that your test-taking interface was really good.
