Interviewed Jul 2011 in Omaha, NE (took 3 weeks)
Applied for the position online which took about 2 hours because of the personality testing required. The next day I received a follow up email and phone call requesting scheduling a phone interview which was scheduled about 3 weeks out due to time zone difference and work restriction. The phone interview lasted a little over a half hour. The questions were very simple. You were not allowed the opportunity to ask any questions or clarification. You had to interpret the questions and answer as best you can. The responses were recorded and reviewed by a hiring manager. Some of the questions were very close ended and hard to elaborate on. They asked how I preferred to be paid about 5 times in 5 different ways. found that interesting in light of all the reviews given by employees leaving due to the recent change in their pay scales. The next day i received an email stating they didnt have an available role to take full advantage of my skills.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
I got a phone interview which was all very professional set up via email. I got a call from a well spoken woman who proceeded to ask me a number of questions in which I had to give a quick response without thinking too much about it. This approach is based on their behaviour based interview or some hocus pocus. I should know given I'm a psychologist! I was myself, answered the questions as best I could. Note the questions weren't test questions, just questions about your character. e.g. 'have you helped anyone recently out of the goodness of your heart', 'would you prefer to be the life of the party or sit back and watch', etc.
Anyway, them at Gallup didn't think I suited them so I got rejected after the phone interview. Crazy, considering my commerical background suited Gallup to a tee as I had experience doing what they did for a living. So behavioural based interviewing my behind!

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
They took forever to schedule the interview. The interviewer was late to the call. The first interview consisted of a series of questions. The interviewer did not interact with me much at all, just asked the questions.
She said the hiring team would get back to me if interested in moving forward.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Washington, DC (took a day)
I was asked a series of rapid-fire questions that were highly varied in their character. There were few pauses between questions. The interviewer was a real person, but they would allow no emotion to show in their responses. The idea was to provide a neutral arbiter of your responses. It was rather intense, and I would prepare for the interview with several cups of coffee if possible-- not for the weak-hearted.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 months)
The interviews are on sided. They want your responses as you perceive the questions and will not answer your questions, even if it's regarding clarification on something they want to know. These answers are psychology based and analyzed/interpreted by a panel. They are subjective and unfortunately don't allow you to showcase the full skill set of what you can bring to the table. I got to the final round before I was cut. That took me 5 one hour interviews over the course of two months. Even at my request, they refused to let me come in for a face to face meeting. This company is successful but I believe their narrow minded approach leaves them stuck with mediocre candidates rather than high potential employees. Probably explains their high turnover rate.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Omaha, NE (took 2 weeks)
Gallup is a very interesting company and has a proven methodology of how to hire.
To even begin to apply to a position one must first complete an thorough, online assessment.
After completing this you can apply for any positions that you desire.
Make sure you know your stuff and that you write good cover letters! Apply only for positions that you know that you may be capable of ascertaining.
In your cover level, speak about your Gallup Top 5. This technique helped me get multiple interviews with Gallup. Furthermore, know the Gallup products like the back of your hand. You will need to know them because the interviews are very difficult, intense and rapid fire.
For a consultation position, the interview is about 70 minutes long and 60 questions.
The entire interview is taped and you are unable to ask any questions. The interview is given by a moderator and the interview is later reviewed by capable analysts.
Questions range from: "On a scale from 1 to 5, are you more capable than others like yourself?" to "Okay, tell me more about that."
Interestingly enough, I have been contacted twice for this position. The first time I was rejected. The second time I applied for a different position and Gallup contacted me about the consultation position again.
The second time, the interview was much different.
The second interview was much more of a "get-to-know-you" interview. The questions were more about who I was and what I enjoyed doing. That was about five days ago and I have yet to hear back.
What I can tell you is do LOTS OF HOMEWORK OTHERWISE YOU WILL NEVER MAKE IT INTO GALLUP!

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took a day)
The interview was recorded for later evaluation. When the interviewer asked me questions, sometimes she waited 30 seconds after I had finished my previous answer, and sometimes she interrupted me before I had finished talking. It did not flow like a normal conversation at all. It made me really uncomfortable and contributed to my poor performance on the interview.

Several people mentioned that the Gallup phone interview is difficult of tough, but i strongly disagree. it was truly a behavioral interview, where the company really gets to know you. It was about 40 minutes of the interviewer drilling me with questions about experiences, personal preferences, and "tell me about a time when...." Most of the questions were pretty predictable. The difference between this interview and other is the lack of immediate feedback. You have absolutely no idea if you gave a good or bad answer, so just relax, be honest, and be yourself.
