I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at KeyPoint Government Solutions (Washington, DC) in May 2017
Interview
2 Interviews took place:
1st one was a phone interview which basically just gave an overview of the job and just asked if I was still interested in the job. They also asked why I wanted to be a background investigator.
2nd interview was a video call. I listed a few of the questions I was asked below. The interview was pretty easy and I stayed positive and smiled throughout the entire call (my answers were not too impressive). I had the video call on Sunday and a phone call with a job offer that Tuesday. They are very responsive!
