Hey Guys,

I submitted documents on 15th oct 2025.
NO OFFER YET.

Understood from HR folks that Hiring is temporarily paused and there is no direction given by management yet. Hence , HSBC HR POCs not commenting on anything as they themselves are awaiting the guidelines from management.

My HR told me to keep other avenues open alongside this opportunity.

I am keen on this opportunity and will surely consider this over other as I had previously worked at HSBC.

All the best !!!

Hi all i had round 2 in jan for pune. Since then it was showing business interview completed. Meantime we agreed on a number after few back and forth on 1st week of feb. On 12th the application status went blank. Hr is saying still awaiting for approval. Any idea how much more time will it take ?

@software engineer: not yet, awaiting approvals as per HR. Status is “Additional checks and pre-employment verification “

Similae delays/on holds happening in Db.
Across industry appraisal season happens during this time of the year.
Maybe after appraisal season ( looking at people staying/exiting after hikes) companies would resume hiring.

What does the status say on the job portal ? as of now. @Product Owner/Business Analyst

It means role is closed and it is impacted.by hiring freez -> got to know this from my HR

Just an educated guess - for those who have been asked to re-apply ?
Seem they must have started getting approvals at the Business side

but when did that happen ? so you can think of process ahead ( like date wrt when was your last interview, and what did the HR call and say this time )

You are correct.

1. They are reopening the roles and getting the business approval for the role first.
2. Once role approval is received, they are taking another approval for releasing the offer which takes 15 days nearly as per HR.

I got an email on 10th feb for replying the role.

oh , did anyone go through the case study round ?

Not me
