InterviewI applied through an employee referral I interviewed at Robert Walters (Japan)
Lots of fluff with the process. They tell you that you have to meet a certain standard or criteria to be a lucky selection, which is true, but they don't tell you the real selection comes after you're hired. I can compare it to the Hunger Games.

InterviewI applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Robert Walters (Manchester, England)
Long process but it was good for me to decide on which sector was best for me, met quite a few different hiring managers from diff areas. They were vague in their commission structure but that is only because it is a discretionary scheme, work hard and you'll be fine.
