I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at BT Group in Feb 2013
Interview
Very easy, felt like I was interviewing them. I don't think many people get turned down. Very high turnover of staff. Informal and polite, got an offer the same day.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at BT Group in Oct 2007
Interview
I was reffered by a friend and I called the recruitment agency. They had an initial telephone interview ,which lasted for about 20 minutes.
After the telephone interview , I was invited to come in for a face-to-face session.
The lady asked basic questions about my experience, my motivation to work, the sort of environment I'd like to work in, my career goals and aspirations etc.
Overall,once she was satisfied that I had experience in the industry and that I came across as responsible enough, she basically offered me the job there and then.
