The Challenge
The Axis Bank Young Bankers (ABYB) Program is designed to help future industry leaders grow through a one-year residential program.
The ABYB Program scaled quickly, attracting more than 20,000 candidates a year across 33 cities. Axis Bank required a reliable, standardized, and scalable assessment solution to identify and hire top candidates quickly.
To achieve this goal, the assessment solution needed to:
- evaluate candidates in multiple locations in a short amount of time
- have remote testing capabilities to screen a high volume of candidates
- give both Axis Bank and candidates confidence that the selection process was fair and accurate.
The Solution
SHL understood that having a standard and efficient assessment solution was critical to ABYB.
We provided a hiring solution consisting of four online testing components:
- Video Interview with AI-scoring to identify candidates most likely to possess the competencies to work in a competitive banking environment
- Cognitive Test to determine which candidates possessed the necessary cognitive abilities to succeed in financial services
- Sales Situational Judgment Test to identify prospects who can thrive under pressure
- Personality Assessment to establish likelihood of success in specific roles and positions
The multi-dimensional assessment solution allowed Axis Bank to roll out the same evaluation process in 33 different locations at the same time and in the span of just ten days.
