Interviewed Jul 2010 (took a day)
I submitted my resume online to a well known job board. About a week later, I had a phone interview with the firm's recruiter. About 15 minutes into what I thought was a very positive call, I asked the recruiter if I was interviewing for a new position or to replace someone. Oh, he said, they actually had extended an offer to someone else and I was just being interviewed as a backup candidate in case reference checks etc did not go well with the first candidate. He promised to give me a status call a week later. He never called back. Truly amazing.

Interviewed Mar 2008 in Seattle, WA (took 2+ weeks)
First, as normal in most industries now, had a 15 minute phone interview to answer some questions about my experience and resume. Since Resources hires to fill a need with one of their clients directly I assumed it was to make sure I was a fit for a consulting placement.
In a few days I was asked to come in for a 1:1 interview with one of Resources' recruiters. About half the interview was spend explaining the Resources model and how that differed from other staffing agencies and consulting firms. Most questions towards me seemed to focus in on assessing my ability to be calm and collected in a new situation with one of their clients. At the end I was told that if the client was open, I would be scheduled for an interview with them soon.
A few days later, I was called to schedule an interview with their client on site. I first came to the Resources office for a few minutes of coaching about the client and Resources' understanding of the client's needs. Then left for the client interview unaccompanied by any Resources staff. I won't go into the client interview as this will differ depending on the client they send you too.
It was about 10 to 12 days later when they finally had an answer of no from the client. On the same call from Resources I was then told they had another potential and would contact me back soon. A couple of days later I was scheduled for a phone interview with another potential client. This went quickly and no follow up in-person interview was asked for. After a week I was called in to sign the paperwork and be sent to the client location.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Resources likes to tell you compensation is not all based on what they get from the client contract so they tend to be very opaque in what they are receiving. As typical for the consulting industry they generally pay to the employee under 50% of what they bill to the client.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took 1 week)
Recruiter met me at a coffee shop (which I found strange).
The purpose seemed to be data gathering for competive reasons.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took a day)
I contacted the recruiter directly through a LinkedIn connection after a recruiter suggested this company to me. RGP hires experienced consultants and "are Big 4 snobs" according to the recruiter. My Big 4 experience was old so I had not included it on my resume, but the recruiter warmed to me as soon as I mentioned it as part of my background. RGP had a down year in 2009 as seen in their financials. SInce they are public these are easily obtainable. They had tried to hang on to consultants as long as possible, but because the consultants do not get paid when not billable, many did leave. RGP likes to stock pile resumes and then when they win an engagement that requires specific skills they try to bring that person on board. This is a quasi variable rate model since they do bring people on as W-2 employees, but they do not pay people when unbillable.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Santa Clara, CA (took 2 weeks)
I met with two managers over a two week period. They were very open about the direction and priorities of the company and what they were looking for in a candidate. Overall, the people I met were very personable, professional and they let me know exactly where I stood in the interview process.
