The JPMorgan (Quantitative Research) interview funnel
1. Online Assessment
60 min, 2 coding questions (HackerRank); languages differ by regionCandidate-reported: a 60-minute HackerRank sitting, two sections of one coding question each, timer unpausable. NAMR allows Python 2/3 only; EMEA Python 2/3, Java 7/8/15/17 and C++ (one EMEA editor also C# and JavaScript). Six reported 2027 sittings (three NAMR, three EMEA) drew nine unique questions from a small shared rotation; 'AB' / 'BB' deletion appeared word for word in both.
2. HireVue Video Interview
3 recorded questions - ~30 s prep, 2 min max per answer, 1 retry each (HireVue)Format: One-way, after the HackerRank OA; candidate-reported. 3 questions: ~30 s prep, 2 min max, 1 retry each. No ChatGPT or unapproved AI tools. After the third answer: 'Your answers have been submitted', no score.
2026 live questions (Quantitative):
- 'What is your top priority in deciding your next job?'
- 'Imagine that you had to present complex information to someone with limited knowledge of the subject. What steps would you take in order to help ensure your audience understood your presentation?'
- 'Tell me about a time when you detected a potential issue and developed a solution before it turned into a real problem. Describe the situation, the actions you took, and the outcome.'
2027 bank: 49 JPM-wide HireVue prompts (opener, 25 behavioral STAR, 5 situational, 6 commercial awareness, 12 IB-flavored technical), all on the prep page. Firm-wide, not QR-specific.
3. SHL Values and Mindset Assessment
SHL - 76 forced-choice statement triads, untimedSHL's personality questionnaire, sent with the coding OA: 76 items of three first-person statements. Pick the one most like you, then the better of the other two (most > middle > least): you cannot agree with everything. Nothing is objectively correct; SHL reads profile shape and coherence, and near-identical repeats check consistency. Our OA-page walkthrough: candidate-reported high-scoring picks per triad, with reasoning.
