I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Northeast Security in Dec 2011
Interview
Had to go for drug test. Company did follow up and checked references. (I was contacted by them for an updated phone number that had changed.) The interview was easy because the interviewer did most of the talking (He likes to talk).

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Northeast Security (Waltham, MA) in Mar 2009
Interview
Met with the HR person, she informed me of the basic information and asked if I would like to meet with the account manager. I drove to the site to meet him and then back to her all in the same afternoon. Then she told me to attend orientation/training the following week, which was sitting in a room watching 30 year old videos then answering a simple quiz about the videos at the end.

Question 1
There really weren't any. I think they'll hire just about anyone when they need guards.
