Applied via my school's career website, and they reached out via email to schedule a phone interview. I was abroad then, but they were super accommodating. The second interview was supposed to be via Skype, but we did a phone call again instead, and the MD joined. After two phone calls, I got hired. It was competitive with dozens of applicants.
