I applied online. I interviewed at ResearchFDI (Montreal, QC)
Interview
Standard interview involving mostly behavioral interview questions and review of experience. One situational question was asked. The job description at the interview was not fully accurate, most of the work is focused on lead generation for municipalities in the states. The majority of your workday involves cold calling companies
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the biggest challenge you've faced? If you were asked to generate leads for a municipality, how would you go about doing it?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ResearchFDI in Oct 2014
Interview
Not many questions, mostly spent time describing the work and how things work better in the UK. Found out that research consultant means, cold calling 50-100 companies a day to set up meetings for economic development organizations.
