I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Aerotek in Nov 2018
Interview
Aerotek reached out to me about software engineering positions in my area. I had a 20 min phone call with one of the recruiters where I gave them info on my background and what type of position I was looking for. I would not recommend this company as there was multiple recruiters who reached out to me with a job opportunity I was interested in and then in order to move forward, I had to submit 3 referrals and do a timed online test and after they never got back to me. The recruiters are incredibly slow, they are hesitant to actually refer you to jobs you're interested in, and they take forever to get back to you.. It was a total waste of time speaking with them in my opinion. I did not get a single interview with an actual company from it.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Aerotek
Interview
I got a call and email and a LinkedIn message from a recruiter for a job they were looking at staffing. The interview was all about what I was looking for and some basic about me questions. The recruiter discussed with me a possible interview on a certain date pending a recommendation. I immediately sent the recommendation information after the phone screen. The recruiter contacted my reference and then dropped off of the face of the earth. She did not reply to my emails or calls.
