It takes about two months. After three online test, I am invited to a phone interview which is conducted by a operation manager or something, not HR. The questions are very very detailed and specific.
I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Shell in Jan 2014
Interview
I am a health and safety recent grad (masters). I applied on-line in January 2014. By the end of the month I completed three on-line assessments: 2 general questionnaires that were not timed and 1 timed numeracy test, which I found rather difficult because of the time pressure. An e-mail confirmed that I passed this stage and that I would be contacted for the next step in “due time”. Then there was the wait – sometime during May I tried contacting the Recruitment department but I was ignored; LinkedIn comments during various “discover us” events were also ignored. In my mind I was thinking I was waiting a line of some sort but then by late July (6 months later) I received a standard rejection letter. And to add to my sorrow, one week after a health and safety position was posted for Fort Mac requiring minimum 2yrs of experience and my application was rejected the following day.

Question 1
Timed numeracy test - lots of numbers, tables and graphs but very little time. Same test regardless of your background. Impossible to pass if you are not good with numbers.

Interview
Initial online test (math and personality). I had to wait about three months before receiving a notice that they were interested in me. I had one phone interview which went well.
