I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Actalent (Burnaby, BC) in Jul 2025
Interview
It was a long interview process that took over a month and consisted 2 phone screens, a zoom meeting and half day in the office. I was really looking forward to trying recruiting so
I was actually pretty excited but alas I did not get an offer. I am pretty skeptical on how good your chances are if you do make it to the half day because I don’t actually think they NEED to hire anyone. My advice would be expect it to be a lengthy process and to give it a 50/50 chance to be hired. Also it had a little bit of gym team/sorority vibe like it seemed like they wanted to keep you out of their clique. It wasn’t a negative experience, it just turned out to be a waste of time and Im still not sure if they were ever actually interested. The one positive experience was the internal recruiter I dear with was extremely nice and professional
And never made me feel uncomfortable. I am going to be less naive when interviewing with other staffing companies.

Interview
Very professional and honest - was quick but thorough. I appreciated their transparency and how friendly their interviewers were. They had great communication and were clear on most of their expectations - had to ask lots of questions though.
