I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hallmark in Jan 2016
Interview
After completion of online application I was prompted to choose a phone interview time slot, which was exactly one week later. Got the call right on schedule and it took about 10 minutes.
First the interviewer described the job and then asked me to repeat as much back to her as possible so that it was clear I understood the position for which I was applying (she was very quick so be sure to know most of this ahead of time). Super easy process. Just waiting on an email to let me know if I got the honor not.

Question 1
Where do you see yourself in 3 years?
Why are you a good fit for this position?
Very easy. I had a scheduled phone appointment. I was asked very basic situational questions. I was offered a job at the end of the call. It was a good job.
A 15-minute phone interview is usually a quick, casual chat to see if you're a good fit before moving forward. It starts with a short intro and maybe a little small talk, then they’ll ask you to talk about your background and experience. After that, they might throw in a couple questions about your skills or how you’ve handled things at work. They’ll also tell you a bit about the job and the company. Near the end, you’ll get a chance to ask a question or two, and they’ll let you know what comes next. It’s more of a vibe check than a deep dive, so no need to stress too much.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hallmark (Garner, NC) in Sep 2023
Interview
It was a conversational phone interview manner. The interviewer was kind and informational. They were easy to talk to and it was short and to the point. They asked me when I would be available to start work and if I could do the job duties.
