I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Shell in Oct 2015
Interview
Applied through campus recruiting. About 2 weeks later I was emailed to schedule a phone interview. My phone interview was rescheduled 2 times due to the interviewer being busy. Wasn't a problem for me. Once I started my phone interview, I realized that he did not speak English very well. The tough part was understanding what he was asking, and getting him to understand some of the important things in my answers. Overall, I felt that he got annoyed when I asked him to repeat some questions. The interview was not hard at all, and it went by pretty quickly.
I applied online. I interviewed at Shell (Calgary, AB) in Jan 2026
Interview
Self video screening interview and then only the select candidates move forward with actual interview. It seems very few are filtered through AI filtering. They tell you if you aren't selected within few days.
The first round is a general screening with two components. the first is multiple choice where you are put in plausible situations at work regarding following guidelines. Then there is a personality quiz, and finally 3 prerecorded interview questions with unlimited attempts

They first took an assesment of my behavioural compatability and other such information, technical round is usually conducted later after the above assesment to see if you can fit in the company culture
