Interview
A CIBC recruiter will contact the most qualified candidates within approximately 2-4 weeks of the position being posted. Alternatively, if you are not the qualified candidate, you will receive an email response advising that you will not be considered for the position.
Your first interview will be with a member of the CIBC recruiting team. The interview may take place in person or by phone, based on your location and availability. After the interview the recruiter will contact you to advise you of the outcome of your interview. If you are the most qualified candidate for the role, you will move to the next stage of the interview process with the Business/Hiring Manager(s).
In some situations, additional interviews with the business may be conducted.
