I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Compass Group (Edmonton, AB) in Nov 2014
Interview
The interview process was fine.
However the rest of the process took a month for them to get the paper work organized.
There background checker wanted to know about the last 5 years of my life housing, work, credit check, criminal record check, 5 references.
All in all it was extremely frustrating process.
Management and supervisors are very unorganized.
