I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Questrade in Mar 2022
Interview
**INTERVIEW QUESTIONS BELOW KEEP READING**
Initial interview with HireVue, an interview with the manager and supervisor, followed by a writing assignment to be given in 3-4 days later. Initial interview very simple - about 10 mins long, 6 behavioural questions. Next interview with manager and supervisor of the digital writing division. This part slightly more difficult but still not too bad, some questions about your experience and your knowledge generally. Then a writing assignment to be handed in at a later point. After that interview with communications may happen (probably not), and then offer will be extended.
