I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Smithbucklin (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2014
Interview
I was recruited from an outside agency. It was client specific, and was directly related to my past work history. Multiple phone interviews, followed by two separate in-person interviews, one with with a group, and one with the unit director. It was very thorough, and they explored my past history, as well as my future career goals.

Question 1
How would I leverage my past experience in developing new revenue sources.
Had a great interview with a senior HR person over the phone. She was knowledgeable, asked great questions and gave me a ton of information on the company, role, team and culture. She was very passionate about the company, I could feel her passion over the phone. In addition, I felt she really dug deep into my background, experiences and what I would be looking for in a full time role. So often it is only about what the company needs. All in all great experience!

Question 1
Give me an example of a time you've had to work on multiple times sensitive projects? Were you successful? If not what did you learn or what would you do differently next time?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Smithbucklin (Washington, DC) in Mar 2011
Interview
The interview process for me was pretty seamless and easy. However, when I am hiring for associates, it's difficult to find good candidates. They also have to meet a lot of people because I, as the manager, am not given autonomy to do the hiring. I can see how it would be daunting for associates.
