I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Beeline Interactive (London, England) in Jan 2013
Interview
There was basically 3 steps:
A face to face interview with the studio manager to present the job
A C++ and Java test (written)
At the end an interview with HR to present the company

Question 1
"Regular" C++/Java question you would expect in a University test
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Beeline Interactive (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2014
Interview
I saw the position posted on LinkedIn. So I applied online directly through the companies recruiting system. I received a call a few weeks later from a recruiter based in Toronto, Canada yet the position was located in Los Angeles. She asked if we could speak the following day. We did. It was fairly brief. She wanted to be walked through my resume and really wanted reasoning behind job changes. She had no finance know how so as I was describing my past roles it seemed to go over her head. She expressed concern that I had worked for firms much larger than beeline, I attempted to explain that the total company size is irrelevant as most of your life at work is with your immediate group. That seemed to not go well with her either. She then wanted to know salary history which I am of the belief that salary history such only be confirmed after an offer has been accepted and as part of a background check. She left me with the impression that my resume would not be passed on to the hiring manager without it. Never heard from the company again. The position is reposted on all of the boards now. Good luck.

The interview process was very straightforward with a very friendly conversation about my recruiting experience and sourcing methods. All in all, the first person I spoke with was great, and it felt more like shooting the breeze than interviewing.
