I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Mintel (London, England) in Feb 2012
Interview

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Mintel in Feb 2022
Interview
Secured interview through employee referral. On initial screen HR, she told me about the company, asked a few questions about my experience and resume then let me know this position already had an offer out but she'd get in touch with me to speak about other opportunities since she liked my background. Zero follow-up or communication afterward. No success in reaching out myself.
The team I met with was very kind and clear through the entire process. I had four interviews. All were pleasant and professional. I would recommend interviewing with this company, especially for recent college grads. Good experience.
