RBS Tests

The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) was founded in 1727 in Edinburgh and has remained a powerful banking institution for the past three centuries, currently serving over 3 million UK customers. It is now a retail bank subsidiary of the NatWest Group.

After using the platform for two weeks, I’ve never felt more prepared for an Aptitude test.

RBS video interview

If you score well on the online tests, you will progress to a video interview. These are not live, traditional interviews, but ask you to record responses to set questions, which are then sent into the hiring team for review.

They are becoming increasingly popular with big employers because they allow them to ‘meet’ candidates without having to arrange live interviews, which take a lot more time and resources.

Although you are not meeting anyone in person, it is still important to take this kind of interview as seriously as a traditional one. This is your first chance to really show the team who you are and how you conduct yourself: therefore, you want to make sure that you come across as professional as possible.

Some tips for online interviews are:

  • Be presentable. Dress exactly as you would for a live, face-to-face interview.
  • Be aware of your surroundings. The best place to do your interview is in front of a plain wall with very little background in view. If this is not possible, make sure to tidy your space before filming.
  • Check your equipment. Test out the lighting and sound by doing the practice questions as many times as you need to.
  • Ensure privacy. The interview will take 20 to 30 minutes, so plan accordingly to make sure that you will not be interrupted by other people or distracting sounds.
  • Relax. They want to see your personality, so let your natural speaking patterns and body language come out as much as you can while answering the questions.

RBS virtual assessment centre

The final stage of the application process is a virtual assessment centre, which is a full day of activities.

The assessment centre takes place over a digital platform, but the tasks are still designed to show how you work on your own and collaboratively with others. It is a chance for the hiring team to see your capabilities in real time, but also your social skills as you build relationships over the course of the activities.

RBS group and individual tasks

These usually consist of analysing and presenting a case study, showing your knowledge of the sector you’re applying for. You will be observed as your team debates and discusses your approach to the issue at hand, which will show how well you both put forward your own ideas and respond to others’.

There may also be a paired role play exercise, in which you are partnered with another candidate to roleplay as RBS representatives, while your interviewer plays a client. This exercise is designed to show off your understanding of RBS, teamwork, and negotiation skills.

RBS competency-based interview

During the day, you will be interviewed one-on-one by a manager in the sector that you have applied for. RBS uses competency-based interviews, which means that the questions are designed to ascertain your strength with specific required skills and your answers are marked against a criteria.

In order to succeed in these interviews, make sure that you are familiar with the details of the role and RBS’s business style, so you can give specific and detailed examples of how you demonstrate each essential skill.

While some aspects of the interview process might be slightly different when done remotely, go through our interview tips to make sure that you are as prepared as you can be beforehand.
