Your pay cycle (weekly or biweekly, as applicable) will be confirmed at the time of your offer. You'll also have a dedicated ApTask recruiter as your single point of contact throughout your assignment, providing ongoing support from onboarding through completion. Many of our contract opportunities are extended or converted to permanent positions based on business needs and performance. Your recruiter can share the client's historical extension and conversion trends during the interview process. Benefits, assignment duration, extension, conversion opportunities, and eligibility are subject to client requirements, business needs, and applicable plan terms.

What is the compensation range for this role?

The advertised range for this Electrical Assembly and Test Tech role is $30–$30 per hour. Where you land within the band depends on validated experience, the specific stack calibration match, and — for contract engagements — the bill-rate the client has locked in for this requisition. The recruiter will discuss the exact number during your calibration call.

How quickly does the interview process move?

If your profile is a fit for this role, you can expect the recruiter's first call within one business day. From there, interview cadence depends on the client's hiring-manager and panel availability. Total time from submission to signed offer varies by client — pre-verified profiles and calibrated submissions cut the noise, but the pace of interviews is driven by the client, not us.
