I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at CIBC (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2016
Interview
Easy interview process, very straightforward, recruiter book a phone interview, and on the phone interview book a face-to-face interview with the hiring manager.
Hiring manager asks similar questions to the ones asked by the recruiter, then few general HR questions.
They sent an email that they chose a different candidate the next day.

Interview
I got an email requesting time to schedule Phone Interview on Monday , on the agreed date and time HR took interview Tuesday it lasted 30 min, went well she asked my availability for Face-to-face Interview next day, So I had face-to-face interview next day taken by GM and branch manager went for about 1 hour, went well. They asked me to wait for feedback, I lost patience when I didn't receive any mail for next 7 days but finally received verbal communication of job offer on Friday last week, HR mentioned she will mail the required forms right away, its been 4 days still waiting for the same.
The anxiety is just very murderous.Dying to accept the offer once they make it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
phone interview asks about your suitability, your past work experience, how well you understand your future role.The Face-to-face one is a bit tricky.My suggestion, never bluff and no amount of preparation can prepare you. So think and answer correctly or politely admit your ignorance.They test your attitude rather than your knowledge and how will go about things if given an option.

Interview
I applied online from an email alert from CIBC website. About 2 hours later, I was emailed to arrange for a phone interview. Once screened, my resume was sent to the local bank branch where a manager contacted me to arrange for an interview. I was interviewed by 2 managers at the branch I was applying to.
