Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 2 weeks)
Spoke with recruiter first. Recruiter was not incredibly organized but did follow up to schedule a face to face with hiring manager. Face to face with Regional Manager went well and had a behavioral interview via phone the following week. Did not have as much managerial experience as they were seeking so the behavioral interview did not go smoothly. Would have appreciated a bit more insight from the recruiter as to what to expect on that portion of the interview versus hearing about the sports tournament her kid was participating in that weekend.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Milwaukee, WI (took 3 weeks)
The process was grueling, I felt that the manager was inconvenienced by having to interview me, but every time I spoke to her for an interview she talked all about herself and I didn't get a word in edge wise it seemed. Then told the recruiter she felt I wasn't interested, the recruiter then coached me on how to ask for the job. At that point I realized I didn't even want it if I had to work with a woman like that.. Sounded like a churn and burn sales job that a recent college grad would be better suited for.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Austin, TX (took 1+ week)
Was recruited off a job board for this position because I had sales experience. After two phone conversations with an RPO recruiter, had an in-person interview scheduled with the branch manager. After we had interviewed for roughly 1 hour, had another unscheduled interview with the regional director. Both were very cordial and free-flowing interviews.
After 3 days, I was offered the position.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Columbus, OH (took a day)
Very easy, they posted an ad on craigslist and I emailed them. They called the next day then I went in and took a series of typing tests and skills tests. I was never interviewed. After that I filled out endless paperwork and was told when and where the actual job was. The company I worked for was very pleasant besides their hourly quota. I put in my two weeks notice to return full time to school with no problem. Because they didn't really interview people some of my manpower co-workers were extremely... different.

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 3+ weeks)
Performed at a local office after a telephone screen. You take the same talent survey given to janitors and day laborers. Once they have that, a drug test is administered locally. Once all this is done you get to interview over the phone with the client. A hiring decision is based on that.
