I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Kelly (Bethesda, MD) in Jun 2011
Interview
I was hired directly by the NIH researcher, but had to be a contract employee through Kelly. I didn't interview with anyone from Kelly, just did the hiring process through them. My actual NIH interview was a breeze since I was referred by an employee with the group and have a professional resume with lots of related experience.
