I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Dublin, Dublin) in Apr 2014
Interview
4 rounds: recruiter call, hiring manager call, case presentation and a final call with a Director in the US.
The first two call with recruitment and the hiring manager are based on behavioral questions around your previous experience and examples of your life where you showed different skills: entrepreneurship, leadership, conflict management, sales pitch...
The third round was a remote video presentation to two people (sales managers) on how you'd sell something and how you pitch. You are given a case with some info and you go from there. My advice here is to ask a lot of questions and get to the pain of the client, which is usually the goal of the call. And finally agree to a next step.
Finally, there's a last round where you speak on the phone for around 20 min with a sales director in the US. This is very informal and if you've done everything else well you should already be in and this is just a formal last step.

Question 1
Tell me an example of your life where you had to sell something to a panel. How did you do it? How did you prepare? What questions did you ask?

Interview
The interview process was pretty redundant. I went through 3 phone interviews and 90 minute on site interview. I was asked the exact same questions during each phone interview, one definitely could have been skipped. When asked during the 3rd interview why I enjoyed sales, I gave the same answer that I had during the previous two (which both of them had been very receptive to), and the 3rd one reacted completely different and he told me that was the reason I didn’t move forward.

Interview
Extremely friendly interviewers, smooth process, many behavioral questions. In general a very interesting and enjoyable process, emphasis on open communication and cultural fit. It is important to show your interest both for the job and for the company as well as the industry and product.

Interview
Applied through employee referral and was contacted by a recruiter a few days later. The recruiter scheduled a phone interview with a hiring manager within two days. After the phone interview I was invited onsite. The onsite interview was about 2 hours. I then had one follow up phone interview three days later. A week and a half later I was offered the position.
