I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Aerotek (Bellevue, WA) in Aug 2015
Interview
I started interviewing with Aerotek a few months ago, such a miserable process! I had a phone screen and phone interview with the Internal Recruiter, both were easy as she's so personable. Then comes the in-person interview, then a half day shadow with another interview with Account Managers. Then I had another in-person interview with the Director.
I had such an uneasy feeling throughout the whole process and I am so thankful I chose not to go with Aerotek!!! I interviewed with many other staffing agencies at the time before deciding on the one I am with now and none of them made me feel like Aerotek did. They kept saying my answers weren't personal enough and to dive deeper, sorry my real life experiences weren't enough for you.
After my last interview, I made the decision to go elsewhere and I am so happy I did. You will be happy at Aerotek if you want to work awful hours, love sales and share your deepest secrets with them during your interview process.
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.

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.
