I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rain Bird (Aix-en-Provence) in Aug 2013
Interview
It was through a Head Hunter. Followed by some interviews with European Managers (not very professional ones). Finally a skype call with US Top Managers and that was all. The Head Hunter and the General Manager shared company with me some years ago and the General manager was my boss during 2 years at that company.
