I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at belairdirect (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Was hands down, the best interview process I had. Every single person I interacted with was extremely kind and professional. The first step was a 20-30 minute phone interview, followed by an in person interview with two managers and a tour of the office, and lastly an online exercise and background check. During the in-person interview, I was introduced to a current employee in the role I was interviewing for, and had the opportunity to ask them questions about the role and the company.

Question 1
Many scenario based questions. E.g. How would you deal with an escalating conflict?
I applied online. I interviewed at belairdirect (Toronto, ON) in Sep 2020
Interview
Applied online (via their website), received an email to complete a video interview (you answer 3-5 prerecorded questions) after which point I received a followup email to complete a PLUM assessment (no right or wrong answers just gages your personality type/work style). Following the PLUM assessment, I received another email to choose time/dates for a video interview with hiring managers (2-4 individuals). The entire process took under 2 weeks, was advised of the decision the next day after the managers interview. (Already OTL licensed if that helps).
The first 5 questions I listed are from the 1st video interview.
The second set of questions (5) are from the manager's interview.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at belairdirect (London, England)
Interview
I applied through Linked in and got an invitation to take an online assessment the following day. About 2 days later, I got another invitation for a video interview which consisted of about 7 multiple choice questions and about 4 video questions. About 3 days later I received a face to face interview request. It was a group hiring event that consisted of 2 short individual interviews. The hiring event lasted about 2 and a half hours.
