I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Randstad (Ottawa, ON) in Dec 2015
Interview
The interview process was very long and they would not respond to me for many days until I would ask them if they had made a decision. Then they had asked to see me again when they had clearly decided not to go with me (perhaps they like to waste their own time?). 3 weeks is much too long for an interview process for a simple job. Basically, it had slipped out that I had a child and they became much less supportive of my joining them after that point. This job is a best fit for an individual who does not have a family as the hours are extremely long. Pay is not very good either.
The interview process I experienced was impressively quick and thorough, with a team that remained accommodating throughout. From the get-go, the steps were entirely clear, and the recruiters provided consistent feedback on my application status. This transparency, combined with an interviewer who made me feel completely comfortable, created a professional and welcoming atmosphere that truly stands out.

Give me an example of your previous accomplishment
Standard interview process but felt some concerns when they mentioned that the team was shrinking in size. This was a bit of a red flag with a lot of consultants leaving.
Office seemed pretty good.
Na hora de abordar e agendar primeira entrevista foram ageis. Participei da primeira etapa, recebi feedback que tinha sido bem avaliada e estavam aguardando retorno para agendar próximos passos. Nunca tive retorno depois disso, mesmo mandando mensagem para saber o prazo que tinham para retornar.
Achei lamentavel a postura da empresa que sempre respeitei, mas o time de Talent Acquisition deixou muito a desejar.
