I was first contacted by a Recuirter who me some details about the job and contact information about the local hiring authority. After about 2 weeks of phone calls trying to set up an interview I emailed him with a summary of my experience and references and got a reply the next morning with a time and place for the interview. The interview consisted of some general qualification questions and why I thought I would be a fit for the team, lasted about 1 hour. The next afternoon I was made an offer via HQ HR and accepted the job
