I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at CIBC (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2022
Interview
I was contacted by a third-party recruiter and completed a detailed form of my background and past work in addition to a phone screening.
Afterward, I had 2 rounds of interviews with a person and then a second round with another person.
Around two weeks after the final round of interviews, the recruiter called and told me they hired an internal candidate. This was somewhat frustrating as it felt like I was used for a fake interview in order to justify an internal hire.
