I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at LaserLife (London, England)
Interview
I initially applied through LinkedIn to submit my profile. I was emailed back to send CV. Following on I had an invitation to arrange a call with the HR lady. Then I had the conversation which I talked about my career goals and what I wanted and past jobs. It felt professional and inspiring, as throughout the interview process I felt like it was a professional company where lots of money was made. It felt the same interviewing in person. And I think if successful with HR in person the next stage is immediate with offer after (if that manager likes you).
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at LaserLife (London, England) in Jan 2012
Interview
Really tough interviews process and they call you in twice but I understand why now. They really put you through your paces and did ask you difficult questions. They ask you questions with a view of trying to see if you are genuine or if you are telling fibs. At least a drink is offered!!
