Got contacted by an outside recruiter via linkedin, had a pleasant 30 minute skype call which covered Booking.com's history, their relocation process, and an overview of what they were looking for. The recruiter was great about providing some CV tips and answering questions as best she could.
After our call we moved onto the next step in which the recruiter submitted my CV and discussed myself and the other candidates she was talking with that week. Unfortunately Booking.com was looking for more strict eCommerce experience then I have and my application was dropped at that point.
But the outside recruiters they are using are top notch and kept me well informed throughout the entire process.
