You do a physical test then they ask a lot of questions. A lot of which have less to do about your position and more about your personal life. Now I understand you are trying to prevent vulnerable people from the position but it turned me off to it. None of which is their fault.

Behavioral Technical

I applied through mail for an SSA position, as their department doesn't accept online applications. After about a month, a recruiter called to see if I was still interested. I confirmed I was, and we scheduled an interview. On the interview day, I had to sign releases for my previous state personnel file. Then, I was taken to a small room to meet with the hiring manager and supervisor. They asked me some standard questions. I noticed the manager didn't know what an Apple Watch was, which seemed like a red flag given the role involves telehealth. Since it was a limited-term position, I asked about the possibility of the previous employee returning. I didn't get a clear answer that this wouldn't happen. After the interview, I sent handwritten thank you notes via mail. I never heard back.
