I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SAP (Vancouver, BC) in Dec 2011
Interview
1 recruiter focused on online recruiting (LinkedIn primarily) liked my profile when I reached out to her. Passed me on to another inhouse recruiter who did a telephone screen then set up interview with two hiring managers (presentation). Was given a sales scenario with not-too-specific details, and a week to prepare. They were looking for: ability to present, to think on one's feet, to use sales methodologies. Used the good cop/bad cop routine (one guy lobbing softballs and giving buying signals, the other hammering away on "what's the value, prove it" etc.). Did well on that, got a verbal from the recruiter that they'd make an offer, had one final interview with head of inside sales org, got offer

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at SAP in Sep 2009
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter and was immediately introduced to the hiring manager who flew 3000 miles to meet with me. The next week I was flown cross country to meet the executive team and have dinner with several of the employees. All very first class and thorough. The offer came about two weeks later and it was a complete package with complete benefits and competitive salary.
