I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Meltwater (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2013
Interview
The interview process started with a phone call from a Sales Director who asked me question regarding my resume, my previous sales experience. He also asked me to explain the sales cycle I went through when selling on my previous position. The person also wanted to know why I would like to work for the company and why I chose to apply for the specific position? Then he explained more about the company.

No difficult question on the first part of the interview process
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meltwater (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
Phone screen, in person panel group interview with 12-15 other candidates and a panel of ~5 people. First hour is their company introduction. 2nd hour is self introduction and group presentation.
It's clear that they're looking for a very specific type of personality for this role. Like the typical Type A extrovert confident over achieving business student. Each candidate only has a total of maybe 5 minutes or less of speaking time in front of the panel so you have to really nail those 5 minutes. Many of the people in my cohort, including myself, seemed nervous when speaking to the panel and I'm pretty sure they don't call anyone back who seemed nervous. My advice: practice your self intro like crazy .

Interview
Starts off as a group interview - about 10 prospects with about 10 executives, then if you get through that, you go to an individual interview where you will be asked a series of things, but will be asked to do a mock cold call as well
