I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Bay Alarm (Pacheco, CA) in Jun 2015
Interview
It was a 3 day process. Easy and fast. Although, I didn't like driving from Vacaville to San Ramon each day to get to the agency I applied through. Day 1 meet and greet with agency representative, fill out light paperwork and review resume, take typing, personality and Excel skill test. Day 2 interview with company in Pacheco and got job that night. Day 3 fill out more light paperwork and drug test at agency.
