I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Fragomen (Boston, MA) in Feb 2017
Interview
Interviewed by 3 people for the position. Very friendly but they needed to know that I was the proper fit for the position. Heavy emphasis on detail oriented work. They were also looking for my ability to work late dependent on the amount of work on deck.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do I know you can be detail oriented with important information?
There were two interviews, one with HR and then with the team in person. There was some lack of communication in the middle of the process, with the HR not knowing if they would have openings in one or another office, so that required following-up.
Very simple - Phone interview and then in person interview. I was able to get more information on the role as well as expectations. Then I only had to wait a week to hear back and let them know if I was accepting. Overall a very easy interview process.
