      Financial Advisor Development Program Interview

      Jan 10, 2021
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Toronto, ON
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Scotiabank (Toronto, ON) in Nov 2020

      Interview

      Required to complete and submit Plum profile. No resume/cover letter/transcript required. Following interview offer, required to complete a one-way video interview comprised of 5 questions. 30 seconds to read question, 30 seconds to respond, no re-takes. Overall, felt like a very disconnected process and was difficult to gain any clarity as to what the role would entail. Did not feel like a two-way process whatsoever, and while surely more efficient from Scotiabank's standpoint, doesn't reflect well on how they value people going through their recruiting process.
