I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Robert Half (Atlanta, GA) in Feb 2019
Interview
So I recently had it interview with a lady during the phone interview she would ask questions about my experience and background etc.
A lot of people nowadays come from boot camps and that is excellent especially to get hands on experience with projects and companies. However not many people can afford bootcamps, so we turn to online classes are & even taking a couple courses in person. Not only that, but for people who are trying and willing to make it happen for ourselves, it takes hard work to reach out and gain mentors who are guiding us through this whole process, and giving us feedback as well. Additionally, we're at working day my day trying to understand how certain design programs work without much assistance. With that said, it takes grit,
perseverance and hard work.
She disregarded my projects, that I have worked on with professionals in the industry & told me that they only prize people who has certificates and "real world experiences", because those who do have "real world experiences" are the only ones who are able to answer "Tell me about a time when you're working with a team".
Who knew that working with real people, a real team, wouldn't count as real world experiences.
Tip: I wouldn't bother with these recruiters if all they want is someone who is perfect on resume & doesn't take to time to really understand someone who never have that "traditional" route of education. We'll come from all sorts of backgrounds..
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Robert Half (San Ramon, CA) in Jul 2022
Interview
Standard UX interview process -> portfolio review and presentation, I was only able to go through one piece of my project. No whiteboard challenges for the contractor role. Meeting the full team then Q&A for the team.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Robert Half in Aug 2021
Interview
This was a screening interview with a recruiter for a contract position as a user experience designer. The recruiter asked thoughtful questions until discussing a target hourly rate for contract work. She implied that the hourly rate could be equivalent to a salary if one chooses not to take time off (to compensate for unpaid vacation).

General questions about my experience and my hourly rate range
Connected with The Creative Group arm of Robert Half for a design position with one of their clients. Position was contract only. Interview with their client was confirmed and then 10 minutes later the interview was cancelled with no reason given. What makes matters worse is the staff tries to normalize these scenarios. The staff themselves are pushy and expect you to take a lower market rate (which is a lie; firms like this are just cheap). Avoid at all costs if you in the design or development field. Highly unprofessional group to work with.
