I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Security Industry Specialists (Fort Worth, TX) in May 2016
Interview
Phone screening with recruiter, which is generally very pleasant and generally lasts about 15 to 30 minutes. They basically just ask you a few questions and verify that you know what the job is, then set up the one on one interview. Standard background questions and situational questions. In the one on one interview, they pay very close attention to past security experience and education.

I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Security Industry Specialists (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2021
Interview
Mostly soft skills and detail oriented in documenting what you observe. The job is mostly "observe and report" with a touch of customer service skills. As long as you can be polite, respectful, and great at documenting things, you'll do well in the interview.
