      Trader Interview

      Feb 24, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Swansea, Wales
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at OSTC (Swansea, Wales) in Feb 2017

      Interview

      I came for an interview here as a trader. Was greeted by a pleasant and professional young girl but the interview with the managing director I can only describe as being unprofessional, patronising and just weird. He mocked me for not completing enough of the basic maths questions and then insinuated that if he knew I had a degree he wouldn’t have bothered inviting me for an interview anyway and that my trading experience was irrelevant. It was all quite frankly bizarre. It felt like I was being interviewed by a grocery manager for a shelf stacking job. I should definitely take any positive reviews of this place with a pinch of salt.

      Question 1

      Nothing technical just personal really.

      Thank you for taking the time to review your interview experience at OSTC. We would firstly like to apologise if you felt the behaviour of any of our staff was unprofessional as we would never aim to patronise an interview candidate in the way you described. However, we find your feedback regarding comments made about your university degree surprising as 98% of our trader intake are university graduates. A strong aptitude for maths is essential in our hiring process and we look for a score of 70%+ when recruiting our trainee traders. Since your interview, we have reviewed the sequence of our interview format so that the face to face interview is preceded by the numeracy and games tests so the results can be used in the screening process and a more meaningful conversation can take place. Thank you again for your feedback and we wish you all the best with securing a more suitable role.
