I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CIBC (Montreal, QC) in Jul 2014
Interview
First came a phone interview with general questions, after that an in person interview at the CIBC downtown headquarters in Montreal. Interviewer was fair but rigid and maybe a little intimidating for some people. Asked scenario specific questions in order to determine what kind of person you are based on your reactions.

Question 1
do you think this is more a servicing job or a sales job?
Quick and easy. Was smooth as I knew the manager ( met her at my previous job). Would recommend to apply on careers page. Good company to work for. Ueuej
Really quick. There wasn’t a lot of questions and I was contacted each week. It was quite short and they really needed people. Most of the questions were basic and focused on customer service rather than balancing.
Just asked to do the assessment task and failed me. This has been happening with the CIBC since 2 years despite getting interviews from other banks. I don't know what could be the problem.

Just general questions and finish a task by the end of application.
