I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Special Counsel (Chicago, IL) in Sep 2016
Interview
The whole process took a day. The office staff and recruiter I met with were all very nice. I am still waiting for placement, however, the interview with the recruiter was pleasant and took only about 20 minutes. It is very similar to other contract legal firms, but the people working there appeared to smile more than the other places.
