I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Skyscanner (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Jan 2015
Interview
Started with a written application followed by an online test. I then waited a few months before being invited to have a telephone interview. I then heard back a couple of days later that there would be an assessment center that I was invited to the following week. On the day of the AC there were group tasks in the morning and then if you made it through you had one to one interviews in the afternoon.
