I applied online. I interviewed at Labcorp in May 2015
Interview
This was a phone screen. It is the first step in the process for Covance. It is a pretty low-key 10 to 15 min conversation where they just confirm you level of interest and previous work experience. They ask you directly if you have experience in the areas they are looking for (even if it is not on your resume). They also allow time for you to ask questions. I'd say that they are more knowledgeable about the answers than a company that is screening you for employment with a client, but I still get the feeling they do not have a really good idea about what kinds of candidate the powers that be want to hire. They pretty much just know what's on the job description.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Labcorp (Indianapolis, IN) in Jun 2011

Interview
Applied in November, came in for an interview in December and started the job in February. I only had one interview with the department supervisor and all the questions were mainly personality/behavioral type questions. I was asked to give a little bit of my technical background but not in too much detail. Got the job offer over the phone and accepted right away without negotiating because this was my very first job as a tech and I really needed it. The first day was an 8-hr orientation about the company.
