I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (London, England) in Aug 2019
Interview
Applied online and within a week I had a telephone interview with an internal recruiter.
After, I was invited in for a face to face interview. Interviewers were friendly and asked questions around my understanding of the company, department and my own experiences and skills. There were also specific questions about dealing with risks, my knowledge of graduate recruitment and my interpersonal and stakeholder management skills.
The next day, I got a phone call from the same recruiter who did the telephone interview. She said I had passed the first stage and that the hiring panel would like me to attend a second round interview based on Barclays' values. She said I'd receive an email shortly.
After a week or 2, I get another call from her saying that the role was on hold as they needed to go through the approval process again. I got told this would be done in a week's time and that she'd be in contact with me after to update me. Sadly, I didn't hear anything further from her and no update was ever provided despite asking for one.

Question 1
Please give an example of when you had to deal with possible risk
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Barclays
Interview
Applied via an agency, attending interview, very formal and inpersonal although interviewers came across as professional.
Didn't spend much time to try and sell the role and business so left feeling unsure of why I would want to work there.
Never received any feedback after chasing numerous times!
