I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PointClickCare (Mississauga, ON) in Oct 2018
Interview
First, the HR set up a phone interview which was more of a conversation and focused on the "cultural fit" - the interview was short and sweet.
The second interview was with the hiring manager and that is when things got real - the manager was looking for someone who had previous experience in SaaS industry while I explicitly asked the HR in the first interview if having no experience in SaaS was a deal-breaker or not and I was told that they are open to someone new who is willing to learn. Unfortunately, after speaking with the hiring manager, that was not the case - as the hiring manager was asking very specific technical questions on how to do certain accounting treatments in SaaS situations - it seemed that the hiring manager and the HR did not have a proper conversation before I met the hiring manager.
In short, I had communicated with them from the get-go that I am willing to learn coming into this new industry and HR person made it seem that was not an issue at all. I was excited. Until meeting the hiring manager, she wanted a very specific type of individual with specific experience.

Interview
There were three interviews: a phone interview with HR, an in-person with the Manager and Director (separately), and a final interview with the Senior Director. The questions were straightforward, asking me about my experience and asking me to relate my experience to the qualifications on the job post. No surprising questions. Since it was a for a role in finance, some questions were on the technical side.
