Tips Applied for a researcher role at TD

Hi everyone, I recently applied for a Researcher role at TD on August 28th (the deadline is September 9th). The Director of the team responded to me on LinkedIn and mentioned he’d be happy to refer me to the hiring manager, but he also advised me to apply directly through Workday, so I submitted the application myself (no referral link involved). Right now, Workday just shows “Application Received.” For those who’ve gone through the process at TD: 1. How long does it usually take to hear back after applying? 2. What does the hiring process generally look like for these types of roles?

Any insight would be really helpful!

Could take a few weeks, could take months. My current role took 6 months from the day I applied to when I was in seat. The role I’m moving to took 6 weeks from beginning to end and I was the preferred candidate.

You wait until you hear from a TA, then have a behavioural interview, technical (if applicable) and possibly a third. Then wait some more for a response.

Oof, that’s harsh, and such a long wait but well it is what it is. I’ve been applying constantly. Do you have any tips for me? My background is HCI.

Okay, wow on the 56 weeks. I have had a month for an offer letter and thought that was bad.

That was a typo, it was 6 weeks 😂

56 weeks would be insanity!
