I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at SPARGO (Fairfax, VA)
Interview
After you apply online, the first step in the selection/interview process is a phone screen. A recruiter calls you and asks you questions and records your answers. Your answers are then sent to the Hiring Manager for review. If they like your answers and your resume, you will be contacted for a face-to-face interview where they will ask you the same questions again. The face-to-face interview is a panel with two or three people.
