The Path from Harvard and Yale to Goldman Sachs Just Changed

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. has always sought to attract the best and the brightest. Now it also wants the most committed. The bank has concluded that helping to widen the pool of candidates beyond those from elite schools like Harvard University and Yale University will enable it to find students loyal to the industry. So it is making changes in the way it interviews and assesses candidates for summer analyst roles, typically the first-rung jobs for a banking career. The Wall Street bank is experimenting with video interviews to open up the field to entry-level roles and turn up candidates who aspire to a long-term career in banking, rather than a short stint.
