I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Lloyds Banking Group (Leeds, England)
Interview
Assessment is done in a group setting. You have to take a 'phone call' and you are given a sheet of information. It's fairly straightforward and obvious - the questions are relevant to the position you applied for. You are given a tour of the building. They get back to you quite quickly which is good.

Question 1
Make sure you ask all security questions, it's a bank and security is of major importance!
