After talking on 2 short interviews with 2 individuals in HR, I received an offer for a 15 month business analysis/quality assurance consulting opportunity. Just prior to this interview, I interviewed with 4D Technology Solutions, and received the exact same treatment in asking for personal information for the program. I even asked the interviewer at 4D if they worked with Agile since they had the EXACT same payscale in the EXACT same location (weird? I know). So after the short interview with Agile, here is the confirmation email they sent me. Also, be sure to look up 4D Technology Solutions on Usa Consumer Complaints.com as well. Strikingly similar...
Email sent to me:

The main flaw here is that they are asking for personal information. I just received this email today after my 10 minute final phone interview and checked on Usa Consumer Complaints.com. Beware and decide for yourself.
Also, this was a technical interview. The only technical question asked was how I would write a SQL query.
