Scotiabank GBM · Investment banking analyst · Summer Analyst / Analyst
One-way video screen
A recorded, one-way video screen with a handful of behavioral questions
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 or capital markets?”
- “Why Scotiabank GBM?”
- “Tell me about a time you worked on a team.”
- “What is your greatest strength, or a weakness you are working on?”
What this round is judged on
- Motivation · a specific 'why Scotiabank GBM'
- 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
- Apply on jobs.scotiabank.com to a specific GBM posting; resume and transcript. GBM spans investment banking, corporate banking and global capital markets out of Toronto.
- Networking
- Coffee chats and info sessions with analysts and associates materially gate who gets pulled forward. Not a formal stage, but it is a real input in a small market.
- One-way video screen (HireVue)
- A recorded, timed screen: a handful of behavioral questions. Why banking, why Scotiabank GBM, a teamwork or motivation prompt. Shallow by design, no back-and-forth.
- First-round interview
- A live video interview, usually with about two associates. Mostly fit with light technicals; reported as conversational rather than a drill.
- Superday / assessment centre
- In-office. Reported as a group exercise plus one-on-ones with MDs: a fit conversation, and a technical seat that often includes a credit-flavored case (should the bank lend to this company), reflecting GBM's corporate and credit orientation.
- Offer
- Decision weights fit and culture heavily across all the rounds.
