Basic interview both with HR Manager and what would end up being my direct report. I had to take a questionnaire and review company policy and electronically sign it. Both manager were pleasant to interview with and answered all of my question that I posed to them. At the end my manager considered me for a permanent position, although I did not get it at least I was considered for it. He also offered a two week extension "assignment" after the initial contract work was completed.

a Manager or potential boss sits down and explains for about 30 mins what the job and culture is like. Ask some questions on experience on topics related to the job like troubleshooting.
