I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at World Vision Canada (Mississauga, ON)
Interview
First I had a 15 min phone call, followed by a 1.5 hour in-person interview with 2 people. The second interview included a quick test of logframes during the 1 hour discussion, followed by a 30 min private test writing up an email based on a 3 page situation report (in a room where people constantly entered into so be prepared to be interupted). I was disappointingly asked in 7 different ways about religion/faith/prayers. While I expected it based on previous reviews, I was really struck as to how it repeatedly came up and it felt much more important than my experience and skills. Afterwards I received absolutely no follow-up communication, which was one of several displays of sorely absent HR procedures. I have experience with 2 reputable INGOs and have interviewed and hired staff many times. It is proper form to notify someone that you will not be moving forward following an interview, and just discriminatory and illegal to ask anything about religion in Canada during a hiring process even once, let alone 7 times. Whether one is fit or not for a position, these practices make it perplexing as to how they hold a 'top employer' status in Canada .
