Recruited on a state university campus by an Apple Corporate recruiter. They were on campus multiple times over the semester and actually seemed to have trouble recruiting. Many students didn't take them seriously. I got to know the recruiter and eventually was convinced to apply. There are multiple stages to the hiring process although none were particularly rigorous. It was incredibly difficult to get in touch with the recruiter, they never returned a voicemail or email. I once missed a call from them and they left a voicemail stating they wanted to setup an interview. It took multiple calls before I was able to get back in touch. DO NOT MISS THE CALL no matter how socially rude you have to be to answer it. In order: -Submitted resume on the Apple College At-Home-Advisor jobs website -Followed up with recruiter to make sure they received the resume -Received an email with a link to an online web survey with questions about my and others perception of my technical skills (rating various questions from 1-10). No free-answer questions -Received an email with a link to a 3rd party background check company that had to be completed before anything further happened -Was contacted by the recruiter and eventually setup a phone interview with a team manager -Had a 20-30 minute phone interview with the team manager who I ultimately worked for -Was told by the team manager that they "never tell people this" but he would be recommending me for hire.

The interview for me consisted of a phone call, a virtual Zoom interview, and and in person interview with two managers at the Austin campus. The phone interview was just to inform me of the opportunity and what to expect next, and the Zoom meeting felt like a pre-screening for the in person interview. The in-person interview consisted of technical and personality type questions. They are more concerned with customer service than technical skills for these positions. You will be trained on the technical side. The whole process took about 2 months from the initial call to the job offer.
