I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Adecco in Apr 2010
Interview
The recruiter was awful. She was completely lost, and I had to follow up with her multiple times. I would call her and she would be like, "oh, I was going to call you, umm..what was that about again?" She gave me these tests that were terrible and hard, and had nothing to do with what I am doing right now! I never finished them either. I never even heard from her after I got on-site. Neither did my boss.
The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Adecco in Aug 2009
Interview
was refered by a friend or a position that they have opened from the exhibitions and events team, attended the interview and did a typing test, and then a one on one interview with a young female who started with basic questions and then moved on to previous work experience etc
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Adecco (Saskatoon, SK) in Jul 2010
Interview
The first time I went to there office it was just for temp work. I called in to ask about how to sign up, the person asked me a few pre-screen questions then set up a time for interview a couple days later. It wasn't much of an interview more just them seeing what you are looking for and feeling you out a bit. It went well, I started my first temp job the first day. Also some assesment testing was required. I had applied for admin work so I had to complete assesments for word, excel, data entry etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were no hard questions. Just what are you looking for. Where does your experience lie, what are your wage expectations..that kind of thing. Not a real interview
