      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBI Group in Nov 2022

      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at IBI Group (Toronto, ON)

      Interview

      Very uptight proposal manager who didnt make me feel comfortable at all. The BD manager was nicer. They made me do a test the first time, called me for a second interview and hadnt even bothered to check the test. They wasted a lot of time in between and had no real answer when I asked them what the general path to grow in the role was. The recruiter didnt bother giving me an update till I finally followed up on my own.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How many proposals can you handle at one given time

      1

      Interview

      Interview process was straightforward. Did a phone interview with HR, then was invited for the technical interview online with manager + BD Manager, and was asked to complete some 'technical tasks' and submit them later. Was not selected for the role.

      Proposal Coordinator Interview

      14 Feb 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at IBI Group

      Interview

      It first started with a call from a recruiter, who vetted me out and said he would give me a call in the same week to schedule an interview. I had to follow up with them for 2 weeks, only to receive a call from someone else to book an interview because the recruiter went on vacation. Fast Forward to the interview, I met with a very rigid Proposal Manager, who couldn't break a smile. Simple interview questions were asked, and then I was told that I would be provided a skills assessment test. I waited for over 20 minutes for the test and did not receive it. I then made a follow up call to the Proposal Manager and left a voice message. 2 hours after the interview, I received a call from HR who made several excuses as to why I was rejected, each excuse contradicted questions I asked the recruiter in the past. For example: there was not enough time to train someone with your skill level given the crunch time (note: I have 4 years of experience), even though when I asked the recruiter in our initial phone call about the training that would be provided, I was told that it would be extensive for 3 to 6 months. Far too many contradictions. A very unprofessional experience overall.
