I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Scotiabank in Aug 2010
Interview
a lot of customer service based questions such as "tell me a time when you had to deal with a difficult customer.", or "tell me a time you went above and beyond for a customer". There were also a couple sales type questions and simple ones like "tell me a time when you had an issue with a co-worker"

The first time, I was invited for a vifeo recorded interview. Secondly followed by someone interviewing me. Thirdly, I was asked the day I would like to resume. I was asked to submit the names of my former employers to enable them contact them.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Scotiabank (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2017
Interview
Applied online, received email two weeks later. Two step process of survey, and then online customer stimulation (be sure to have a pen and paper, and pay attention to all details and read it clearly!). Got an email back to have a "recorded" online interview. Essentially you record your answers. Final step was another interview through webcam with an HR person.

Fully completed with HR over the phone, via e-mail, and a final interview through a Skype/Facetime-like app.
There was one portion that was a virtual simulation of what it is like to be a Customer Service Rep where you had to sort of recall and enter in things that were said verbally, sort of as an aptitude test. When they say be sure to do it in a quiet place where you won't be distracted, they mean it.
