Phone interview, then informal lunch interview, then they observe my work along with seeing my portfolio. Once they decided they were going to make an offer, they required that I get fingerprinted, submit to a background check and followed up on my references. I was floored that in the offer they pay your first years performers insurance and if you can't pay it in following years, they will pay it up front for you and you can have it taken over time from your pay. I felt very respected, that this was really a company that cared for its employees as much as it did for its clients.
