I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Mountain View, CA) in Feb 2010
Interview
Everyone I dealt with was very friendly. The initial phone interview was pretty basic. Mostly traditional interview questions as opposed to behavior based ones (ie. Tell me about a time when...). The interviewer told me that I would hear back within a week, but it actually took almost two weeks for a response. They set a date for an in person interview, but did not give an exact time until the evening before, which was frustrating.
When I got to the building, other candidates for the same position were waiting for an interview as well, which made me a little nervous. They put each of us in a separate room where we were interviewed in half hour increments by three interviewers, one at a time. It was a very casual setting and at times I felt more like I was conversing with the interviewer than being interviewed for a job. I thought it went very well - one of the interviewers even said I was "a delight" - but I was not offered the job.
The interview process at Google for the role of recruiting coordinator was pretty easy to be honest. There is an English grammar test which is followed by an interview. The interviewer goes through the relevant skills and experience

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Sunnyvale, CA)

Technical phone screen, recruiter interview, 3 virtual interviews with hiring managers and team members, encompassing situational, behavioral, and technical questions. One interview includes role-specific live exercises for Recruiting Coordinator position.
Interview process was lengthy. Had me go through a series of interviews and practice rounds. Did not get the role. But had a great experience with the recruiter. Was surprised to even get an interview with all the layoffs happening
