The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Scotiabank (Regina, SK)
Interview
Was emailed the same day of applying with a request for a one way interview. They sent a link with lots of information you could read beforehand to prepare, and you’re able to do a practice run. One way interview is 5 questions, they are put up on a screen for you to read. You get some prep time and then you record your answer. You then review your response and can either submit or re-record. In my case I could re record as many times as I liked.
