I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ICON (Dublin, Dublin) in Jul 2012
Interview
Applied online, contacted by recruiter for initial phone screening interview then a 1-to-1 interview around a week after. Phone interview was very basic, why I wanted to work for the company, what my experience was etc, nothing job specific. 1-to-1 lasted about an hour, fairly straightforward, mostly related to what was in the job description and what experience I had in the various tasks and duties required. Overall felt it went well but got an email 2-3 weeks later stating that they had hired someone else based on their level of experience.
