The interview process is pretty long. The team made sure hiring is careful selection and considerations. Recruitment team is great and communicates frequently. Great experience overall with the company. I got responses back really quickly

Interview
The first step was a phone interview and then a zoom call which was quick and pretty simple overall. Interviewer asked the standard set of interview questions. Then, interviewer talked a little about the projects that were being worked on.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Please describe to me a little about your background?
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AssetMark (Concord, CA)
Interview
I have applied to Assetmark for a contract position at least three times. This latest time, I had 2 phone interviews, 2 in-person interviews, and then waited 4 weeks for them to get back to agency.
They are keen to know why I want to work at Assetmark, as if I am seeking a meaningful relationship on a contract. I just want to say "Look, I am a hired gun, and you have a job. Let's not make it complicated."
Message for Assetmark: Show candidates the common courtesy of providing feedback that is meaningful and get back on an appropriate timeline. 1-2 weeks is not 4 weeks. Instead of asking me why Assetmark, tell me why I should work at Assetmark, bearing in mind that the motivation of a contract is completely different than an FTE.
