After talking to Akvelon so that they could vet me, I interviewed with 2 people at the client the following week. I was offered the position a few days after that, subject to a background check. The whole process from first contact with Akvelon to them offering me the position tool exactly 1 week. The background check took a couple of days, and after that a 1 hour visit to the local Akvelon office took care of all the onboarding paperwork. I started work for the client about 2 weeks after the first contact from Akvelon.
