I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at CGI in May 2009
Interview
Responded to online ad for position. Took about a week to be contacted by recruiter, and then a phone interview with 3 individuals (peers) was arranged during which a backround check was started. Interview lasted about half an hour and was pleasant and nonconfrontational. Waited several weeks to hear back from recruiter and finally had to recontact him, after which I was offered a position verbally.
