We conduct behavioral-based interviewing. This interview style uses past behavior as a predictor of future behavior. As part of the interview process, you will have the opportunity to meet with hiring managers as well as a recruiter. This is your time to make a good first impression, so be prepared to answer questions around the "skill-set for success."

The interview process usually takes one to two weeks. The timeframe may vary based on business need. You will be notified via telephone if you are selected for additional interviews. If you have questions during the interview process, feel free to contact your recruiter via telephone or e-mail. He or she will provide you with an update.
