However, I don't know that, hence my original question. If I were pursuing a job here, that would be something I'd want to be fully informed about before I opted to use those services. If there are new hires in BI who chose RST after it's owner was fired then I'm obviously off base. I thought there might be some folks out there who could offer some data points.
I certainly understand the thought, however if they only hired people who testified they did not use RST, they would be stuck with literally about 2% of their applicant pool. The service is THAT prevalent. I think they are professional enough as a company to understand that we will do anything to be prepared for this interview. RST covers the computer-based testing on day one and not the in person interviewing on day two. And for what it's worth, I interviewed after he was fired, they did not directly ask anyway, and I got the job. With regard to ECIC, they tell you several times that I know you have prepped and more than likely hired a prep service. If you give an answer that sounds too canned, they will stop you or ask more probing questions. They want to get to know the real you. Have an idea of the information you want to convey, but don't make it sound like you are reading off cue cards.
