I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at European Central Bank (Modena) in Jan 2018
Interview
I applied online. After one week from the deadline I was asked to take a verbal/numerical/abstract reasoning assessment online (not very difficult but you have to be quick).
About 10 days later they told me I had made it to through the next step (skype inteview).
I did expect one or more steps between the online assessment and the skype interview but I think they skipped them because there were few applications or maybe because they needed the selection to be completed as soon as possible.
The skype interview took about 30 minutes. There were two recruiters and they were very friendly and nice.
