I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kaplan in Aug 2013
Interview
I applied through the referral process. After sending in my resume, I talked briefly with the regional recruiter informally, mostly about the position.
I had about 5 days to prepare a 2-part 4 minute lesson on one of the MCAT topics (choice of 5 topics). I submitted the video lesson online (can rerecord up to 3 times) and got an invitation for a skype interview the next day. The interview was very informal, with the usual set of questions.
Several days later, I was asked to fill out an online application with all the usual info plus 4 reference contact information.
A week later, I was asked to prepare for a technical video interview, similar to the video lesson from before.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing unreasonable. How do you plan to motivate your students?
Teach-back scheduled with a current MCAT Instructor based on a subject of your choosing. Then familiarization with Kaplan MCAT strategies and certification after being hired. Easy initial interviews and screening.

Interview
Standard application process to particular location. Appreciated interview with current instructor. However, was given an offer for that particular location to then be told that it was already filled before I even applied or interviewed. HR was unapologetic despite the massive waste of my time (simulation interview requires preparation), and offered me a position at a college that was 30+ miles away (even though I informed them I don’t have a car). They left my offer letter to the original location open and accessible, to this day, which I could have signed for them to be contractually obligated to hire me.. Also, I emailed my interviewer with a thank you and follow-up question and they just never responded. Extremely low pay for the income that you generate for them. Generally unimpressed with Kaplan prep materials (way too much focus on content) but now just unimpressed with the company as a whole.
Asked me to present two sample test questions to an experience teacher. First interviewed with a current instructor and then with the HR. Pretty long interviews I would say, but since they provided questions ahead of time for you to prepare, it wasn't too bad.
