      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cision in Mar 2022

      Interview

      There was no interview. I was contacted and asked to book a time slot. I booked one, and they never called me. Emailed the recruiter back and he never responded. Just straight up ghosted right after initial contact

We strive to be open with candidates and communicate any changes in the consideration process with candidates at all levels of the hiring cycle. While we strive to do our best at this, at times there are external factors that may cause events like this to occur. We will use your feedback to ensure that going forward, our Talent Acquisition team takes the time to ensure that all candidates are informed when changes to the status of a role occur. Thank you again for your feedback and we would encourage you to re-apply to any future openings we have that align with the next step in your career.

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Cision (Ottawa, ON) in Sep 2017

      Interview

      I Was contacted by a recruiter and screened as a potential candidate. Next was the Cision HR screening interview and I was screened in. I was told that I would receive an interview invite the following week. I was then interviewed by the Hiring Manager. This is where it gets interesting: after I was told I was a good fit, a series of last minute interviews were organised (finished one interview, then get a call from the recruiter telling me they wanted to add another ect) after 6 interviews (including the recruiter screen) and being told that I would be meeting (in person this time) with the hiring manager everything stopped. I was then informed that since HR had filtered out all the other candidates, they went to another recruiting source, fast tracked a candidate then made an offer to this candidate. Note to Cison: The company culture is not only experienced by employees, but by temp workers, contractors, and yes, interview candidates. Changing the rules that far into an interview process says a lot of the culture (and nothing positive)
