Phone interview with HR, then interview with hiring manager, then interview with VP. More conversational interview style than rapid fire questions. They will also have you do a personality test when you are in the final rounds of interviews to ensure you are a good fit for the role.
Interview Questions
- What would you do if you had a question and couldn’t get a hold of your direct manager?

The interview was taken in a Tim Hortons where they had a sign written Compass and we would wait for our turn, once we let them know that we were there for an interview. And we would wait for them to call us.

It's pretty straightforward, you are mostly interviewed by the site manager. Nothing too out of ordinary. You have a short phone interview with their HR Manager and then passed on to the specific site manager. The process took longer because you need to complete Criminal Record Check which sometimes can take up to 2 weeks.

Upcoming and seasoned Marketing professionals...BEWARE. DO NOT preform any projects for potential employment. They demand a substantial assessment of your experience and when completed and delivered they lack the professionalism of contacting you back. DO NOT fall into their trap...your time is worth more than theirs. Good luck.

InterviewI applied online. I interviewed at Compass Group Canada in Sep 2018
Applied online. Got a typical screening call several weeks later and then was asked to interview with the hiring manager. Hiring manager was late and came unprepared for the interview. Probably one of the worst places I ever interviewed at. Had a friend who was going in a few weeks later for a similar job. Exact same experience.
