Access Bank 10 Minutes Per Day Job Application

Access Bank just introduced a new, slightly weird mode of recruitment; one that gives applicants only 10 minutes in a day (from 10 am to 10.10 am) over 30 days to apply on the site. As interesting and innovative that approach of recruitment is, it has its own shortcomings, one that has the capability of making a mess of the whole idea. It is like telling all the people living in Lekki - Ajah axis of Lagos, they have only 10 minutes in a day to use the Lekki - Epe express way, of course what you will achieve is a gridlock. Today, my prediction came to pass.

When I saw the advert yesterday when it started, my first question was, could their server withstand the expected traffic. Today's session brought the server on its knees and many job seekers could not gain access to the platform probably due to many people using the platform at the same time. The server could not withstand the traffic after all. It seems Access Bank under estimated the number of people that will be interested in this recruitment. May be as days go on, the traffic will wane or the server will be upgraded. Only time will tell.

However, the idea is quite innovative, you can only apply for 10 minutes each day and after that the portal is closed till the next day when it will also be open for 10 minutes and so on) will come up everyday till 10th June 2015 according to Access Bank.

When the page opens within the 10 minutes application time, you will see a page with this information:

Terms and Conditons

This is not the final recruitment phase. it is just a pre-selection test.

You are allowed only 1 trial per day and a maximum of 3 for the entire recruitment period.

The portal takes applicants into a sort of Einstein Puzzle, which they are expected to finish in 10 minutes. The applicant will be directed to another gateway to submit his/her resume when s/he solves the puzzle. If the applicant couldn’t solve the puzzle though, s/he can take another stab the day after. Users have a maximum of three trials before saying a sad goodbye to landing a position with the bank.

Access Bank has not indicated which specific positions they are recruiting for but stated on its site that the vacancies are for 'banking positions'.
