I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Shell in Apr 2016
Interview
Online application with CV and cover letter followed by three online tests; one situational, one about your personality and one numerical test. Preparing for the numerical test is advised but it is not too hard. If you pass this round you have an interview over the phone. The interview focusses on the achievements and relations criteria as described in the CAR criteria. Prepare examples you want to discuss during your interview.

I applied online. I interviewed at Shell (Calgary, AB) in Jan 2026
Interview
Self video screening interview and then only the select candidates move forward with actual interview. It seems very few are filtered through AI filtering. They tell you if you aren't selected within few days.
The first round is a general screening with two components. the first is multiple choice where you are put in plausible situations at work regarding following guidelines. Then there is a personality quiz, and finally 3 prerecorded interview questions with unlimited attempts
