I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Kelly IT Staffing Service in Mar 2013
Interview
Interviewed first with the agency, they set me up with a phone screening with UC Davis. They agreed to hire me, then it was another week or two to do the background check which I paid for initially, but was reimbursed on first paycheck. It was a bit of a drawn out process because of UC Davis.
