6 week process, writing samples, online assessment test, created a sample report (was given a week to work on it). When I spoke to my peers about the process, many said that they wouldn't be surprised if my sample report was actually used by Hanover for one of their clients. It would have helped if Hanover had made me write a report on a topic that was outside of their work domain since I have no idea if my intellectual property is now being passed off as one of their reports!

Screening is done by online aptitude test. Then in-person interview with someone from the team you'll be working with. Once they know you have the skills (from the aptitude test), the rest is pretty typical chit chat to make sure you'll get along socially.
