I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kessler Consulting (Wisconsin) (Milwaukee, WI) in Apr 2014
Interview
A deliberately vague job description online led me to submit a resume. I received a call within three hours from their outsourced HR/recruiting vendor. The half-hour telephone interview was much more about educating me on Kessler Consulting than about asking questions of me. Kessler hires 1099 subcontractors to fill temp and temp-to-perm positions at firms for whom he consults at the Controller level. I was told to expect a call the next week. By Thursday, I had not heard anything. I left a message at the HR vendor's phone number and got a call from Kessler the same day, scheduling a one-on-one interview at his client's place of business. Kessler told me to expect a testing link in my email. His client sent me a link to the kind of testing where one chooses adjectives from a list of dozens. I had no way to reach Kessler, so the day before I took a chance that the number from which he called was a cell phone and texted a confirmation. He replied the same way. At the interview, I liked the interviewer/owner and was a little sad that our needs did not mesh at this time. I was not given a business card, so I wrote a snail-mail thank you note to him care of his client, and texted a thank you to his cell phone. I still do not have Kessler's email.
