I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at HostGator.com (Austin, TX) in Mar 2013
Interview
Brief, to the point. Asked a bunch of technical questions about shared web hosting, so I recommend looking at their site to study up. They will hire anyone, but don't expect to get through the training. We had 20 people in the class and only 7 made it through. So don't quit your day job. Also it really isn't a place you will stay long term so don't get hired and comfortable with the crappy pay.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at HostGator.com (Houston, TX) in May 2015
Interview
The interview process is a very casual one. Dress attire is very casual and not relaxed. Do not wear a suit they don't care. The interview seems to be conducted by employees themselves. It's very scripted and elementary. They ask you a couple personality/customer service questions followed by some very simple technical questions. The interview is a very short one. If you're good at interviews you'll pass with flying colors.
The interview process was pretty good. I had a phone interview with the recruiter, and then she scheduled me for an onsite interview with a manager. She sent me an e-mail confirmation with study materials. I spent a few hours looking over the e-mail with all the links. I called and asked about cPanel and WHM, and the recruiter helped with what to study to learn what I needed to know about Linux and cPanel. I did have to call several times, but my class ended up being huge. They were doing a huge hiring push at the time.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at HostGator.com (Houston, TX) in Jan 2015
Interview
The interview was pretty standard. I talked to a recruiting lady, and she sold me on the job. We then and an onsite interview. She called me the same day to offer the position. I was surprised it was pretty easy, but I studied the topics she mentioned over the phone the first time we spoke, and i am glad I did study.
