Preparation Strategy — What Recruiters at SBI Look For

SBI SCO Recruitment 2025: SBI is hiring for sales-heavy wealth roles and customer-facing positions. Recruiters look beyond certificates — they want measurable track records and the right attitude. Focus on:

• Domain knowledge: For VP/AVP wealth roles — knowledge of investment products, portfolio management, NPS, mutual funds, insurance, tax planning, and regulatory basics (SEBI/NISM certifications add weight).
• Sales & Relationship metrics: Show clear numbers — assets under management (AUM) handled, revenue generated, client retention, number of HNI clients onboarded, conversion ratios, etc.
• Consultative selling skills: Ability to understand client needs and propose tailored solutions.
• Communication & Presentation: Clarity of thought, concise presentation of achievements, and the ability to handle behavioral and situational questions during interviews.
• Technical readiness: For customer relationship roles — good knowledge of banking products, digital platforms, KYC norms, and grievance handling processes.

Interview Tips — Score Higher in the Interview

• Prepare a crisp elevator pitch (60–90 seconds) summarizing your background, domain expertise, and what you bring to SBI.
• Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to describe past achievements with numbers.
• Be ready for role-play scenarios — e.g., selling a mutual fund to a conservative HNI, or handling a disgruntled customer.
• Expect questions on market outlook, asset allocation frameworks, and risk management for wealth roles.
• Dress professionally and ensure good internet connectivity for telephonic/video interviews.
