I was contacted by a recruiter about 6 months ago, and they sometimes ask if I want to submit for other roles. The recruiter was pleasant during our initial phone conversation, but their communication since then has been infrequent, standard, and unclear. I understand that contract awards are not within their control, but it feels like consultants are just a number on a spreadsheet. FWI does the minimum to keep people interested while they wait to see if anything works out. I decided to give them a chance, but it's been a waste of time. I wouldn't recommend them.

It was a quick and informative interview process. I interviewed with top leadership and company executives. The recruiter was great, the c-suite was great, and they were very transparent throughout. The FedWriters team, including execs and decision makers, ensured I understood the role and answered all my questions so I could make the most informed decision.

So, first I had to do two take-home copy-editing tests, which they said they would grade, but I never got feedback. They took me at least a couple hours each. Then the recruiter told me they picked someone else and my writing wasn't the best, but I could try again. Months passed and they called again to schedule an interview. I learned during the interview that the person they hired left after just 2 months. I have a Master's in Chemistry and have published papers, which the interviewer confirmed. The pay was low at 50K for a hybrid role, the only good thing was it was semi-remote. They asked me a bunch of 'HR' questions.

Got a call from a recruiter, and after chatting with her, I had an interview pretty quickly, like within two days. Before the interview, they had me write an article on a specific topic to check my writing skills. The interview itself involved the Program Manager explaining the job details. They also gave me some feedback on the article I wrote and asked me about my past experience that's relevant. I even got a chance to edit my article before it was sent off to the client. Towards the end, the recruiter asked me about my work eligibility and what parts of the job I was most and least looking forward to.
