I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Colliers (London, England) in May 2013
Interview
Casual interview, 2 rounds one after the other with the Management Accountant and the Financial Controller. They did speed interviews and interviews 4 people in the same morning.
There was a check through the CV and casual conversation. A few basic accounting questions were then asked. Overall it was more of a personality check than anything else.
