Very simple procedure. I submitted my resume to their company site online. Concurrently, my friend referred me and my application to his supervisor, who in turn put in a good word with corporate. About a week later I heard back from a hiring manager who told me I had been hired. She asked me several basic questions about contract terms and explained the on-boarding process. From resume to first day took about two weeks.

Very easy and quick, a few phone calls and thats about it. They called me about three times in one day and I kept making it to the next round and in a couple of hours I was hired.
