The interview process can seem daunting. First, a recruiter from Relias' HR department reaches out to you to schedule an initial phone interview. If all goes well, the recruiter sets you up to take a 15 minute IQ test, of sorts, and it contains 50 questions. The best advice I have regarding the assessment is to attempt all questions, even if you must guess some, because they do not expect you to complete all 50 questions - at least correctly - in 15 minutes.
If you perform well on the assessment, and on the assessment, you are invited to either come to Relias to retake the assessment in person, or complete the assessment via Skype (the recruiter keeps tabs on you during the assessment). No calculators allowed! :)
If you do well on the second assessment, you will move forward to the next step - an interview by two-three people. I was interviewed by two people, which was a bit intimidating. The interview lasted about an hour. So, expect to be there for a bit! It was definitely not a quick 10-15 minute interview.
If that interview goes well, you will have a final interview with the Director, or a head of the department for which you are interviewing! This portion of the interview process was actually the most positive, because the person who interviewed me was easy to get along with, and made me feel at ease.
You should hear back within a few days, even if the outcome is not what you were hoping. I was contacted by phone by the recruiter within a few days of the final interview stating they were making me an offer. I received the offer via email and was encouraged to take the weekend to accept. However, I pretty much knew - based on what I had learned throughout the process (interviewing, researching the company and position, etc.) that I would accept.
I accepted the offer, and there was a background check, which verifies employment, education, etc., as well as a drug test.
