I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Keyence in May 2016
Interview
The phone screen lasted about 15 minutes with a person who just makes sure you can form sentences. He probably doesn't listen to what you say, they just listen for a few magic words and they will push you forward in the process. The recorded interview part is awkward. Like most people say, become comfortable with the practice questions before hand. Then when you think you are comfortable, do them once more. Moving on from the recorded interview is a personality assessment. This is where the road ended for me like many others, and it was just as frustrating for me to put forth this effort and time towards this company just to be turned away by some assessment and never receive a normal interview. If this is where most of the candidates are turned away it should definitely be the first step of the interview process. Otherwise the interview process just wastes your time.
