Interview
They use a two step interview process. The first interview is typically with a program supervisor and another staff person from the program. The second interview, offered to a few of the top candidates, is typically with the program manager who will be overseeing the position. Office dress code is business casual.

Interview
Two different interviews, initially with a recruiter, and then the program team. Apparently a third interview as well, but I didn't make it that far. The process is incredibly from initial application to each consecutive interview.

I applied online. I interviewed at International Rescue Committee (Seattle, WA) in July 2017
Interview
Formal one hour interview was requested after submitting an application with a resume and a cover letter responding to a position. The interviewers came prepared with very specific questions that were organized to highlight personal interests, work history and future goals. They described the position and the management style and work culture. They were very positive and welcoming.
