I learned about the job opening through an employee referral. Within a couple of hours of my friend sending the Forrester recruiter my resume, I received a call. Within a few days of that initial call (it was on a Friday), I had follow-up calls with the hiring manager and a team member. After those calls, I was sent a data file and a Powerpoint template with instructions to create a client-facing presentation based on the data and certain project assumptions and parameters as well as a blog promoting the final deliverable. I was then brought in to interview with the group VP, director, and team and presented my presentation to the group (both on-site and remote). The group asked questions during and after the presentation about my analysis. The face-to-face interviews were pretty straightforward, but the data exercise and presentation required a lot of preparation. I received a call from the recruiter that afternoon and had a written offer within four days.

HR approached me via LinkedIn, a screen call was set with HR. Then a screen call with business line manager. Then 3 back-to-back interviews with senior manager. Finally a week time to prepare a report and presentation on a specific case. In general the process is painless. HR is super helpful and nice. All the interviewers are friendly.
