I was recruited for a specific position, but told that I had to pass the general technical interview before I could be considered. The recruiter was very accessible and worked with my schedule to set up everything. There was no rush at all. The interview itself was ok - I felt like the people who were assigned to evaluate my PhD research project had no background at all while the guy assigned to my technical interview would have been much more appropriate (and he had trouble following my solution in the technical interview).
