I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Insight Global
Interview
I was approached by a recruiter at my University's Career Fair. After chatting for several minutes we set up a first round interview for two days later. This interview was strictly behavioral and about the position itself. They mainly want to see if you are personable/can carry a conversation, and also if your qualities match up with the job description (hard working, competitive, outgoing, etc.).
Next was a second, onsite interview. This consisted of meeting with 3 different people: the first is the head of the particular office you're interviewing at, and the second two were established account managers. They want to really be sure that you want to do sales and that you are outgoing enough for the job. They could care less about your education.
The third and final round was a lunch interview with the head of the office and another account manager. This interview is all about your personality and your ability to carry a conversation.
My interview process only took 2 weeks, and I received feedback very quickly after each round, except for my final round. The way this company works is they recruit pretty much any person who shows interest in the job; not a very fulfilling experience.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Insight Global in Jan 2015
Interview
Applied online, corporate recruiter contacted me the next day. Went through a phone interview. Had an in person interview with the sales manager and an account manager--very relaxed and conversational (they expect you to be social and lead the conversation). Next, had a "happy hour" interview at a bar with the same sales manager and a different account manager--again, very easygoing but ask lots of questions here, certainly lead discussion and show your interest in the position. If you're not offered the job at the end of the happy hour, you didn't get it.

Question 1
Why do you want to work in sales? (Very important question you should have a strong answer for)

Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter through LinkedIn. I called back and she seemed really nice and bubbly (but kind of fake). We talked about the position a bit and then she asked me what my plans were for the weekend and when I said I was working, she seemed kind of disappointed. I know sometimes a recruiter will chit chat with you but when she asked that question, I really felt as if she was wondering if I was going to go out and get hammered with them over the weekends. Anyways, she wanted to meet me face to face so we scheduled an appointment the following week. The night before my appointment, I decided to see if I could find anything I could use that would work for my benefit so I creeped on the recruiter's Facebook page. I saw a lot of panty pictures and every picture definitely had a night of alcohol involved. I realized that this was a party job and not a serious job at all. I went in for the interview and realized that I was not a good fit for the job. Thankfully the feeling was mutual.
