I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Aerotek (Fairfax, VA) in Jun 2011
Interview
There are 3 phases of the interview process. It begins with a phone interview that takes about 20 minutes. They'll ask you basic questions as to what you know about recruiting, why you're interested, and whether or not you're interested in sales. Sales is key to Aerotek's survival. Next is the panel interview with includes interviewing with 2-3 account managers. They are gauging your decision making skills, your confidence/assertiveness, your motivation, and of course... whether or not you are looking to go into sales. Then, you are given an opportunity to shadow recruiters and managers for half of a working day. You will get see how the operation runs and look at the Aerotek culture. Finally, it all boils down to the interview with the office's director.
The interview process was quick. Lasting around 15 minutes. There are several interviews that you will go through. They will do an initial interview with the director. Then you will get scheduled for a follow up. This is where you meet the other recruiters and account managers. They will walk you around the office and have you shadow some of the recruiters.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What motivates you?
What’s your “why”?
Are you a go-getter?
Average difficulty covering standard interview questions. Phone screen followed by an in-person interview. Phone screen was received quickly after resume submission; in-person was with their head recruiter and then followed by one with their manager.
Phone screening call with the recruiter giving me information about the job, then another virtual call interview more in depth to ask me more questions. The final interview is in person in their office.
