I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Scotiabank (Toronto, ON) in Aug 2015
Interview
First a virtue online interview about 30 minutes and I need to answer about 8 questions. Questions like what's your expect rate, what's your start date. Then a 30 minutes telephone/skype interview with HR. General behavior questions like why scotia, what's your strength, etc. Then is an online assessment and exercise. Finally a one-hour person interview with two managers. Most behavior questions, but more like what would you do under this situation, how you handle stress, etc. HR and managers are very nice, and I felt good about interview but did not get the offer.
