I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Volt Information Sciences (Portland, OR) in Aug 2015
Interview
I had only one phone interview with the client's manager, whom I eventually reported to (excluding the conversation I had previously with the recruiter). The interview went very well, and I felt relaxed through most of the interview, which I don't think exceeded 30 minutes or so. I consider it to be one of the best interviews I've experienced in the last couple of years.
