Interviewed Jun 2011 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 2+ weeks)
I got a call an email from HR asking me suitable time to have a telephonic conversation, then HR called me at the time fixed, he told me that he will forward my resume to the technical lead for further review. I got another call from HR asking me to fix a telephonic technical interview which was scheduled after 2 days. And then a third and personal interview was set with Directors mainly to understand my presentation skill and if I can get set in the company's culture. Then within hours I got verbal offer over telephone. Finally I received an offer letter in 2 days with 3 days time to confirm or reject.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Brampton, ON (Canada) (took a day)
I was informed it was a 1:1 interview.But when i reached two managers were interviewed me.the position was entry level and they rejected me saying that I don't have experiences.When I asked the Business card of the interviewer they said I can contact the recruiter consultant(HR).They didn't even bother to give a Business card.During the interview one interviewer was receiving phone calls constantly while the other interviewer was discussing with me.And one interviewer left the interview in between by instructing the other interviewer to ask my expected salary and conclude.I felt so ignored during the process.Even when i tried to follow-up after the interview with the HR,I barely get any response.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Mississauga, ON (Canada) (took a day)
Dell computers were looking for a data Centre facility manager. Two m,anagers from the U.S., N carolina and Texas phoned in and asked questions. Neither took the lead nor seemed to have any "Bahavioural interviewing" technique or experience. You could immediately tell that this was going to be a "Gut Instinct" interview. There was no structure, it seemed more like a tennis match.

Interviewed May 2010 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took a day)
I am a former member hence the process was fast tracked they had a specific need and I was able to fill the gap very quickly. Typically the recruiting team conducts a phone screen, then a hiring manager phone screen, followed by an in-person meeting all gets wrapped up in about 1 week.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 2 weeks)
HR person phoned and had a conversation regarding why i'm looking, what i can offer and am expecting salary-wise. He seemed interested and said that next steps will be meeting with the Director. (HR person seemed very keen and a little too enthusiastic) . That interview came within a few days after the phone call.
The in person interview went quite well. i showed him same work samples and he asked about my education and work experience. He wanted me to then see a Senior Consultant (my "buddy" who i was be reporting to and he would be my mentor). Again, that second interview came within a few days after the first one.
The third interview went well. The senior consultant looked through my work and asked me some questions about them and asked me what i want from the job.
within a couple of day, i was given the offer. i considered overnight and verbally replied the day after. The signing of the contract was perhaps a week later? something like that...

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Markham, ON (Canada) (took 1 week)
Recruiter cancelled the interview last minute, then forgot to reschedule. Had to call back to get a new time. The interview was quite short as they had few candidates at advanced stage, but we agreed to keep in touch. Was told that while it is great that I have my CHRP designation, this will be bringing no value to CGI, as to be a great recruiter at CGI you don't need a designation. I also have 7 years recruitment experience. After such a comment I have no desire to work for CGI.

Interview process was fast.
March 7th interviewed. March 15th Joined office.
Interview was taken by a Director and consisted of situational questions.
Checked PM level experience, checked consulting experience, customer focus and strong delivery capability.
Since the role I was hired for was very demanding, the interview complemented the job requirments.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 2 days)
The reporting VP clearly does not know what he wants. I have worked with their lead client and they literally love me. I was even told that they checked references the the client told them to hire me. To this date no decision but during the interview process I was told that they needed 2 or 3 more directors given the amount of work they have. So, after 2+ months, this has to be BS. If they were so busy and needing help, they would have made their mind a while ago and they have nor hired anybody
