Interviewed Jul 2011 (took 1 week)
The interview process was strange. I sent in my resume and got called the same day. The interview was on the spot. It took about 20 minutes and he was hard to understand with his thick accent. That person decided to set me up with another phone interview the next day. I was prepared for all the interview questions, but the interviewer really didn't ask me anything except to confirm I recently got my degree. That interview lasted 15 minutes. I had a third phone interview before I made it to a face to face interview. Wow!

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Redmond, WA (took a day)
The Collabera recruiter could barely speak English, so it was very difficult to understand.
Negotiation Details
They seemed unwilling to negotiate at all. They just gave a figure and said take it or leave it.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Columbus, OH (took 2 months)
Recruited for very vague description as a Principal within their captive consulting practice, focused on Program Management. Several phone interviews with many people, over the course of weeks. HR was poor about providing explanations to any step of the process until someone from the consulting practice stepped in to organize the process better -- the consulting division uses the corporate staffing division, and routinely admit it "is challenging". Finally get to final phone interviews and in person interviews for role. Organization was suffering from overall lack of communication, changes in assigned individuals, and challenges on their staffed engagements, all were central themes to the process. HR takes an eternity, and routinely has issues with communication - they want information back immediately, but fail to provide information in as timely a manner.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Originally accepted offer, then nothing further happened as no one would confirm start date or provide any detailed information about requirements, benefits, assignment expectations, or further relevant information unless strongly pressured. When I contacted them concerning an emergency issue with start date that I was working on resolving, they sent an email asking to rescind the offer. Not a positive experience, and not one I would recommend.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Portland, OR (took a day)
I received multiple solicitation emails from multiple recruiters in the same (New Jersey) office for similar positions with the same employer in Portland OR. When trying to speak to management at Collabera to coordinate efforts of the recruiters I was rebuffed with nothing more than incomprehensible mumbling. Whoever I spoke to refused to allow me to speak to a supervisor.
Since speaking with one (of the multiple) recruiter about one (of the multiple similar) position and submitting a resume I have had no follow-up from Collabera.
Collabera recruiters do not appear to have any interest in building relationships with job seekers; it's not clear they have relationships with employers either. It's not clear to me how, or if, they can actually place candidates with employers.
I would avoid wasting time with Collabera.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Dallas, TX (took a day)
Collabera found my profile on LinkedIn. The hiring manager e-mailed me via LinkedIn. I then called him back and had about a 10 minute interview. At the end of the call, I sent the manager my resume.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 3 days)
They called me up and I could barely understand the recruiter. He pushed me hard to return all these forms filled out with references and rate. I got a pre-screening call with the IBM manager and he asked me a few technical questions. The collabera recruiter called me and asked me what they had asked me in the interview. It seemed odd to me that he took notes about the technical questions. I got the feeling he was doing it to pass it along to a friend of his so that he could get the job. The second interview never happened. I called the conference number and waited 15 minutes before getting disconnected. No one else called in as agreed. I see this as unprofessional and disrespectful. I don't want to deal with this company ever again.
