A Recruiter contacts you to discuss your work history and skills to make sure you are a good fit for the position. Then a phone interview was set up with the hiring team before an in person interview was scheduled. The recruiter keeps in touch throughout the whole process and is an advocate on your behalf if an offer is extended. They will help negotiate your starting salary and advise you on paperwork. The background and drug testing may be a two-fold process if the host company requires more background information than Allegis does. This process was rocky and lead to an extra two week wait.
