I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Exiger (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
Applied online and was emailed a few days later to schedule a phone interview. It took about 30 minutes. The company and the role were also explained in detail during the interview. I was asked to do a writing assessment (writing a short research report) afterwards. Two weeks later I was contacted to schedule an in-person interview. I was interviewed by three senior staffs and they went through the experiences listed on my resume. It went okay and took about an hour. A few days later, I received an email asking me to do a language assessment, and that was the final round.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Exiger in Mar 2026
Interview
I was approached by an HR representative from Exiger, who was very kind throughout the process. However, this was probably one of the strangest and most inefficient interview processes I’ve experienced.
I went through four different assessment stages. The final step required me to go downtown for a live assessment, which I successfully passed, followed by a panel interview. After that, there was no communication for almost three weeks, until I was eventually informed that they had decided to move forward with “more qualified candidates.” What made the experience especially frustrating was the length and intensity of the process compared to the lack of transparency and communication. Overall, it felt like a significant investment of time and energy without a well-structured hiring outcome.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
During the phone screening, I was mainly asked about salary expectations, whether I knew the industry. The panel interview was largely behavioural questions. Considering the number of assessment stages involved, the overall evaluation process did not feel particularly aligned with the level of scrutiny applied.
The interview process took about a week, I had to take a test to prove my research and analysis skills, then I took a language test (for the second foreign language I speak) and also I did an interview with the company's director at that time. Overall, the experience was easy and pleasant.
The interview was really easy, a couple of questions about myself and a little bit of talking in English. Nothing you couldn't answer on the spot. Basic interviewing questions. Asked how do I manage deadlines
