Screening Call: An initial conversation with a recruiter to discuss my background, interest in the role, and alignment with the company’s values and requirements.
1:1 Interview with the Hiring Manager: A more in-depth interview focused on my professional experience, problem-solving abilities, and how I could contribute to the team’s goals.
Panel Interview with a Home Case Presentation: I was asked to solve a business case at home and later present my findings to a panel of interviewers.
They have you do a mini take home case that you present, then a round with 2 leaders, and a final round with a VP. The questions are very focused on understanding your financial, investment, and business acumen and how you can communicate your thought process and problem-solving skills.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What makes you apply for this role? Describe how you came to this solution / walk us through your approach? They will also dissect your recommendations / solutions to see how you got there and understand your rationale.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Scotiabank (Toronto, ON) in Nov 2024
Interview
First stage is a case - they give you 48 hours over the weekend to complete it (quite a bit of effort so be prepared to spend some time on it). After submitting the case, you present it to two interviewers. 2nd round consists of cases - similar to what you would have in consulting.
