I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Format.com (Toronto, ON) in June 2015
Interview
I had 2 interviews. The first one was one on one with the CEO. Very casual covnersation with a few very simple questions.
After that they gave me a "Freelance project", a brief with an opportunity to redesign a piece of their platform. And come up with a Landin Page design.
