J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Ipsos (Toronto, ON) en juil. 2021
Entretien
Since they were hiring fresh graduates, I received a response from them as I had just finished my program with a local college (Toronto). Earlier, I had applied several times through referral, but it never worked out for me as I was a new PR immigrant.
Stage 1 - Pre selection of candidature based on the resume used for application on their website. They provided me a form to complete which had questions like why ipsos, why market research, which domain in Ipsos would I prefer, salary expectation, and some more behavioral questions.
Stage 2 - received an email from HR to confirm panel interview date and time
Stage 3 - Panel interview conducted by Director of one of the domains, account manager of another domain and a senior HR. Comprised of more of behavioral and situation based questions and also about my past experience in market research field back from my home country. Based on this round, the panel may have decided my suitability for a particular domain
Stage 4 - Domain director round (this round was based on the panel's review of my suitability for a particular domain). This round was similar to the panel interview round.
Stage 5 - After 2-3 weeks of wait - received a call to join Ipsos.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Why Ipsos, why market research, why did you choose xyz college and xyz program for your studies in Canada?
Questions around past experience, which tools predominantly used for market research? level of expertise for the tools? - at this point, its always good to be honest, for example - wherever I had beginner or intermediate level I have mentioned that.

Pretty simple interview process. 1 with HR, another with a member of the hiring team, case study + interview. Overall pretty straight forward and communicative, it wasn’t drawn out or anything.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself, tell us about your previous research experience
Overall, the interview process was a great experience and very responsive. Communication was clear and timely at every stage. I was given a case study and asked to present my analysis, which allowed me to demonstrate both technical and presentation skills. The team was professional, supportive, and asked thoughtful questions, making the entire process engaging and insightful.
