I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Robert Half (Washington, DC) in May 2016
Interview
Long interview with who would be my boss, then sat in to review what I'd be doing, then went back for an interview with the area lead to never receive word on anything afterwards. Very unprofessional.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Robert Half in Jan 2018
Interview
I applied online via college website. The hiring manger emailed me within days looking for a time to set up a phone interview, after I did not respond she ended up calling and eventually we scheduled a phone screening but stopped the process there as I was not interested in a sales position
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Robert Half (Boston, MA)
Interview
Referred by a friend. Two phone interviews, followed by 2 in person interviews with multiple managers including director and various team members. Strong emphasis on what you can offer the company and how, through your work ethic/sales pitch. No IT or recruiting experience but still offered the job.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Robert Half (Phoenix, AZ)
Interview
I interviewed for a job with a client and they asked me about working for them internally. I must have met with 15 people and I had to come back 3 or 4 times. It's annoying because every time I came in I had to pay for my parking which is really expensive.
They tried to trick me at the end of the interview process, saying that a client of theirs had what I would have described as "the perfect job". They wanted to know if I was interested in that. I could tell what they were trying to do - and they later confirmed it after I was hired. They were looking to see if I really wanted to work as a recruiter, or if I might be lured into a job with one of their clients.
