I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Brampton, ON) in Apr 2018
Interview
Not much of an interview. Went to a hiring event, sat down and they gave me a presentation about the company, then got an email a few hours later saying I got the job. Made me fill out a background check a week later online and then got the approval for work two weeks later. Then the orientation was a well later. Overall the process was very long. Applied in Brampton, Canada.
Not too bad pretty easy and straightforward, simple question surrounding handling and moving. Make sure you know basic safety rules as they will ask you, for example how do you carry heavy items.
Apply online, go to the on-site office for oral drug swab and ID picture. Start date is assigned once background check comes back. The actual start date will depend on how fast the check comes back but isn't normally delayed.
Very simple and straight forward. Drug Test and Valid ID. Very few forms to to complete and a very short waiting time. The staff was very professional and efficient. Helped you with any questions or parts that you were unsure about.
