I interviewed at Deighton Associates Ltd. (Whitby, ON)
Interview
Interview process felt fair. I applied through the company website, was reached out to for a screening call, and went in for an in person interview. Was cool to see the office
I applied online. I interviewed at Deighton Associates Ltd. (Whitby, ON) in Oct 2025
Interview
The interview process was very unprofessional and poorly managed. I had a screening interview scheduled, but unexpectedly received a rejection email the day before. When I reached out for clarification, HR asked me to resend my resume and confirmed the interview would proceed as planned.
During the interview, I was told that my location might be an issue since the role was onsite and they prefer to hire locally in Whitby. My location was clearly stated on my resume from the beginning, so this should have been addressed before scheduling the interview. I also confirmed I was willing to commute.
I was told I would hear back within a week, but it has been 2–3 months with no follow-up. Overall, it felt like a waste of time and a lack of respect for the candidate’s effort.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Bit about background and education. Why are you interested in this role? Are you able to commute to Whitby since it’s fully onsite role?
They called me saying I had an interview, We scheduled a date and time. On the day of the interview I received no calls. Called them back and they just hung up.
