I worked with the conract personnel recruiter from a referral. The company was hiring a lot of contractors. I applied to a position advertised on both monster.com & the company web site.
At the interview, I spoke with 4 people, 1 at a time, starting with the contract personnel recruiter, then other project managers in the group, & then the hiring manager of the group. The whole process took about 2 hours. The people in the group, i.e. excluding the recruiter, did more talking than I did. The manager appeared to be somewhat uneasy or pre-occupied. Another person in the group was kind of detached in the process.
