I applied through staffing agency. The entire process took about six weeks from the initial contact to offer. I interviewed with the hiring manager, three cross functional staff members and the department VP. All discussions were polite, professional and regarding how the role will help other departments. As a first time manager I wasn't sure how many of the questions would be people management based - there were a few but a lot had to do with culture and being and SME in the department I'd be leading.
