I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Compunnel (Braintree, MA) in Oct 2014
Interview
Smooth and no pressure on the person being interviewed. The recruiters specialize in understanding your needs and requirements and get you precisely what you desire. They try to understand your strengths and weaknesses and create a profile for you. Once your profile is on their hot-list, you'll be getting calls from so many places - you wouldn't believe your skills are required at so many companies in the United States.
