The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Aerotek in Nov 2010
Interview
I first had a phone interview with one of their regional recruiters. After the phone interview I got a call to set up an interview with their branch manager. I had a face-to-face interview with the branch manager that was a little over an hour. Before the interview ended he said he would like to set up an interview with the Regional manager the next time he was in town.
My last interview with the regional manager took about 30 minutes. He let me know as soon as I got their that he was rushed for time and had a conference call to be on. The first thing he did was review my resume and while doing so notice I was currently attending school to get my HR certificate. Once he noticed that he flat out said he did not think it would work. He said in the past he had people with HR background go into the recruiter role and since it is not strictly "hr" they never last. I tried to reassure him that would not be the case with me but he already had his mind set.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are the top three things you are looking for in a company/career?
The interview process was quick. Lasting around 15 minutes. There are several interviews that you will go through. They will do an initial interview with the director. Then you will get scheduled for a follow up. This is where you meet the other recruiters and account managers. They will walk you around the office and have you shadow some of the recruiters.

Question 1
What motivates you?
What’s your “why”?
Are you a go-getter?
Average difficulty covering standard interview questions. Phone screen followed by an in-person interview. Phone screen was received quickly after resume submission; in-person was with their head recruiter and then followed by one with their manager.
Phone screening call with the recruiter giving me information about the job, then another virtual call interview more in depth to ask me more questions. The final interview is in person in their office.
