Applied online by sending CV and cover letter. Interview followed by task emailed to complete. Task: to produce a conference on a given title including details such as hot topics on the area, names of people who you would invite to speak, potential sponsors, where when etc.

I applied through a recruiter who passed on my CV. Didn't hear back until 1 month later when I was told they wanted to interview me. The interview was fairly standard, general questions that you'd expect at any interview. What I did notice was that the interviewer heavily sold the company to me (as opposed to making me sell myself to the company) and spoke a lot about how great the company was and how well-known they were in the industry (I'd worked in the industry for nearly 2 years at this point and had never heard of them before). I heard from others that they had a small task to then present at a second interview - I didn't have to do this as I had brought with me a brochure of an event I had previously produced and was offered the job the next day. Overall it took 1.5 months from submitting my CV to being offered the job.
