The hiring process was really unprofessional and dragged on for way too long, taking four whole months from when they offered me the job to when I actually started. They also promised certain hours that they ended up not being able to provide. The questions they asked were repetitive, and the whole thing felt disorganized. The hiring panel even made some inappropriate jokes.

So for CIBC, the first step is usually a phone call with a recruiter. They'll just chat with you to see if you're a good fit, if you're interested, and if you meet the basic requirements. After that, you'll likely have one or more interviews with the hiring manager or a team lead. These interviews will dive into your skills, your customer service background, and whether you seem like you'd fit in with CIBC's vibe.

I put in my application at the branch and chatted with the branch manager. Then, within 5 days, I had a MS Teams meeting with the hiring recruiter. It was a pretty straightforward interview, mostly a get-to-know-you kind of thing. They wanted to know why I'd want to work at CIBC, what I've done before that would help me in this job, and what my future goals are.
