A recorded, one-way video screen: concise, structured answers to camera

What they actually ask

The question shapes this round uses. Larpy does not read these out. It builds each one from your own resume, because the generic version is the one you have already rehearsed.

  • Tell me about yourself, or walk me through your resume.
  • Why investment banking?
  • Why RBC Capital Markets?
  • Tell me about a time you worked on a team.
  • What is one of your strengths?

What this round is judged on

  • Motivation · a specific 'why RBC' and 'why investment banking'
  • Communication · concise, structured answers under a timer
  • Background fit · a credible resume walk at the analyst level
  • Presence · composure and energy to camera with no interviewer

What happens in each stage
Application + division ranking
Apply on jobs.rbc.com; review is rolling, so early applicants have an edge. After the resume drop, RBC asks you to rank your division and group preferences within Capital Markets, and you should be ready to defend that ranking.
One-way video screen (HireVue)
A recorded, timed video interview used as an early filter. Overwhelmingly behavioral: why RBC, why banking, walk me through your resume, a teamwork or strengths prompt. Occasionally one light markets question.
First-round interview
One live interview, commonly with two associates, about 30 minutes. Fit-heavy, with a few basic technicals layered in.
Superday
Several back-to-back interviews with VPs and MDs. Mostly behavioral and fit; technical depth is concentrated in a single dedicated round. Exact count varies by cycle.
Offer
Rolling decisions. The summer analyst class is the main feeder to full-time seats.
