Interviewed Jan 2012 in San Jose, CA (took 3 weeks)
Aside from the usual phone interviews, the face-to-face interviews were not easy. This is due to TEKSystems being thorough in determining if you meet their requirements along with having a drive to do the job, recruit people. If you have anything on your resume or indicate something during the interview process about having other career path interests, then they will question your reason and potential for recruiting.

The first step is a phone interview. It's basic sales questions.
The second step is an interview with the DBO (branch manager) and an account manager. This was actually pretty tough. They want lots of answers and don't want your typical bs interview question answers. Definitely a challenging interview.
The third step is a half day at the branch. This includes you meeting several recruiters and account managers. It also includes a 2:1 interview and a lunch.
The final step is an interview dinner with the manager. If you've made it this far, it's yours to lose. They want you if you can prove you're not an idiot and can eat dinner with people.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Frisco, TX (took 1+ week)
I was referred to the position by a previous co-worker on a Friday, and sent a copy of my resume in to the account manager. He called back within an hour, and I had an interview set up for Monday. I filled my background check paperwork out on Wednesday, and started the following Monday.
The phone interview with the hiring manager, in retrospect, was quite amusing. He's a very pragmatic, no-nonsense, ex-military kind of guy, so if he asked you something like "have you worked with EIGRP?", he wanted "yes" or "no" as an answer. If he wanted details, he'd ask. If he didn't, he expected you to SHUT UP.
ALL of us (the first group of hires) were convinced by the end of the interview that he *hated* us, but it's just his personality.
The account manager, for his part, did try to prepare us for the kinds of questions we would be asked ("general networking, past background", etc), so that was good. I would have liked a little more insight on the hiring manager's approach, but everything moved VERY quickly and it may simply have slipped his mind.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Obviously, try to find out what the market is paying for that position. If you've got some special skill or a special incentive for them to hire you (i.e. "I can start tomorrow" or "I have these professional certifications"), absolutely try to negotiate for a higher rate.
I did not try to negotiate at all, because I'd been unemployed and was delighted to have a job working at a company I'd wanted to work at for years. However, I am also happy with my rate of pay.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 weeks)
Had quick 1:1 interview with recruiter as soon as I submitted for the job. Talked about everything except my skill set during interview. Attempted to set me on several jobs outside my skill set and below my salary range. I was sent through several different recruiters that would all try to send me for the same jobs.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Schaumburg, IL (took 3 weeks)
Interviewed over the phone initially. They asked basic questions about my resume, experiences, why i wanted to work for TEKsystems, etc. Was asked back for a on on one with the DBO. That was more in depth and helped him to get to know me better as a person. Was asked back for the shadow day and was able to get to know the other recruiters on the staff as well as some of the account managers. Everyone was very nice and was able to answer all of my questions.

Interviewed May 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 2 weeks)
It was an intense interviewing process but if you stay confident and are knowledgeable about the company you will most likely get hired. It is an excellent company to work for especially right out of college. They truly take care of you and you grow with the company.

I personally did not negotiate with them because the starting salary was plenty to start my life in Chicago.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 2 weeks)
The first part of the interview is a phone screen that lasts about 20-30 minutes. They ask you a lot of situational questions, " what would you do in this situation" and "describe a time when you did this/ that". They grill you with about 10-12 questions. Then you get a call explaining next steps, which usually means you come in the office to meet with the manager. The manager asks you more questions, however it feels more conversational. Then the third part id a half day, when you coming in and see how the day is run, meet different recruiters and managers, and then right before lunch you have a panel interview where 2-3 other managers sit and grill you for about an hour. Then they either take you out to lunch or give you a call a few days later about the outcome.

There really isnt room to negotiate. they have a base salary of 31k and thats it, and they offer benefits which you have to pay about 60% for or you dont get benefits at all.
