Jefferies receives numerous internship applications. In order to move forward with only the best candidates, they employ a two-part assessment: a Personality Test to evaluate your professionalism and work suitability, and SHL Cognitive Ability Tests to evaluate numerical, abstract and verbal reasoning.
SHL tests are regarded as being among the more challenging pre-employment assessments in the market, which makes them a popular choice among high-end industries like banking. While this may be discouraging for aspiring financiers, acing the Jefferies SHL tests is mostly a matter of practice and preparation.
Jefferies runs a one global application per recruitment season rule on many programmes. That makes the video stage expensive to waste. You cannot casually re-apply next week with a sharper story.
This guide is the Jefferies-specific HireVue playbook: where the video sits next to assessments, how IB versus credit answers should differ, and how to practise so you sound entrepreneurial and mid-market rather than generic bulge-bracket.
