Applicants go through a Phase I written test, a Phase II interview test, and an extensive background check. The entire process can take months, and if there is a hiring freeze, you may be delayed further. You should also be aware of the physical requirements when you start the application process.

The process took 12 months. I interviewed at Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) (New York, NY) in Sep 2023
Interview
Multiple tests and interviews over a year long process. I passed several of the stages including the pft only to get a generic email saying that I didn’t pass the phase 2 interview and that they were not going to give me a numerical score or reason why I failed. I wouldn’t recommend that most people apply as your odds of being hired are extremely low and it takes a very long time and lots of effort to get through the many phases. It also seems that they have a lot of candidates in the pool by phase 2 knowing that most will be cut, which is sort of cruel as candidates have to work so hard to get to the final stage.
