I had applied online in February 2012 and was not contacted by the recruiter until about June. Now working for the company I understand how my resume and application can get looked over in the sheer number of applications they receive. Once my application was seen, I was contacted first by the Greystar recruiter, I then had an interview with a regional manager and area vice president, I was then offered the job. The entire process went very smoothly, I would not suggest that any changes are made.
