I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Stantec (Toronto, ON) in Sep 2012
Interview
The application process for the position of Archaeological Field Technician started online on the Stantec.com careers section. I applied and uploaded a resume and cover letter according to the application process. I received a call from a Human Resources representative within a couple days and was scheduled for an interview the following week. I went to the office and was greeted by the person who scheduled me - who happened to be very friendly, and she told me to wait for 5 minutes for the interview. After a brief wait, I was interviewed by the Hiring Manager who was also very friendly.
The interview was typical, a brief greeting followed by a detailed description of the position, followed by some Q & A.
I had some previous experience in the industry and was offered the position, and very happy to accept the position.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Stantec (Dartmouth, NS) in Oct 2015
Interview
Was contacted by HR and arranged a phone interview, which I thought was just going to be a screening. Roughly 24 hours before the interview, it was revealed to me that it would be with several specialists, and I prepared for the wrong type of interview. Rather patronizing/generic questions considering my experience and very traditional approach to the interview process. They stuck to very close-ended questions and did not open up communication, leading to an awkward interview (admittedly my fault as well).
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Stantec (Tampa, FL) in Feb 2014
Interview
Quick and easy. I was referred by another employee. Met in office and answered basic questions. Overall it was easy although my interviewer wasn't very prepared. It seemed as though i conducted the interview for him.

Question 1
Nothing memorable. For technical positions they administer an initial test though.
