You create a profile online and upload up to 5 documents (mine were resumes for different positions). I applied to many positions, after a 2/3 weeks, my application was forwarded to a recruiter. I chatted with the recruiter over the phone AFTER my resume was screened by the hiring manager. The recruiter called to schedule a time to meet, and answer any questions I had a head of time. The job posting was incredibly vague. That's typical - you're applying to a defense contractor. The hiring manager met with me, gave me a presentation on what I was actually applying/getting myself into. He asked me some questions, about my comfort with certain software suites and threw out some curve ball questions about US regulations, and the DOD.
