I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Robert Half (New York, NY) in Jan 2012
Interview
Applied online, and received an email to come in. This was about a week after applying. What I am about to say is true. I applied to Office Team twice, once in their NYC midtown office and in their Wall Street office. After calling EVERY week and being sent to voicemail, and NEVER getting an assignment, I stopped contacting them. Then FIVE YEARS later they contacted me. Again, this is a true story. I believe that I was contact because I did not live far from the assignment. It was not an office administrative assignment but, it paid $13 an hour.
So, they pay better than minimum wage, and you may not get the type of work you are looking for and, they will contact you when they fell like it. SMH.

Question 1
NONE, I was tested on Microsoft Office applications (Excel, Powerpoint, Word, Outlook). I was also tested for typing speed.
Someone called me about using their services. They were very unprofessional and unorganized. The person wanted to schedule an in-person interview, but couldn't seem to schedule anything for the following week. Instead he said to call 1-2 days before. He also said that there would be an e-mail confirmation, but nothing was sent.
