Interview Process
The interview process begins with a thorough resume review to identify candidates whose experience and background align well with the role. Selected applicants are then invited to submit a short video responding to the following prompt: “Sell us something you love—in 2 minutes or less. It doesn’t need to be a Management Consulting offering; it could be your favourite coffee, a book, or even an idea. The goal is to show us your personality and persuasion style.”

Video submissions are reviewed to assess communication skills, presence, and natural sales instincts. Depending on the clarity and strength of the video, candidates may either move directly to the next stage or be invited to a brief screening call for further discussion. Those who advance will participate in a virtual interview with members of the team to explore alignment with the role, company values, and working style. Finalists are then invited for an in-person interview with senior leadership as the last step in the process. When a candidate is selected, reference checks will be conducted and an offer extended.

We aim to complete the entire process above within 3 weeks. If at any time we decide to end your candidacy, you will be notified of this by a member of our team in writing. We would appreciate it if you extended that same courtesy.

We look forward to receiving and reviewing your application.

Mensana is an equal-opportunity employer. We are committed to an inclusive, barrier-free recruitment and selection processes, including our work environment. Accommodations are available upon request for candidates taking part in all aspects of the selection process. Please inform us within your application if you require any accommodations, and every effort will be made to meet your needs.
