This was for a contract role at HCHS via Volt, with a chance to go full-time. They rescheduled me twice, and I ended up doing two interviews. I was told I'd hear back in a few weeks, but nothing came. The recruiter let me know HCHS didn't give any feedback.

Behavioral Technical

It was a pretty good interview process for an IT/customer support role. It felt professional, unlike other interviews I've had. I had a couple of meetings with the recruiter, who was nice. The recruiter had me do a test for customer support skills and also asked me some customer-facing questions during a live interview. After that, they let me know if I was going to be a good fit for the job. The onboarding process took a little while to get the official start date sorted out.

The production line job has decent pay and you can meet some nice, genuine people. The job pays the bills and is cool. At the start of the shift, the team does strength stretching to get mentally prepared for the day, no matter the workflow. Always expect the unexpected. It happens, but it's not always a bad thing.
