I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Scotiabank (Montreal, QC) in Apr 2015
Interview
One phone interview with HR, one in person interview with the two hiring managers. Wanted mostly to see if i had good banking logic and if i was professional. Interviewers were not trying to grill me but rather trying to see if i would be a good fit.
