I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Allstate (Northbrook, IL) in Mar 2011
Interview
The recruiter I met was great. He was very enthusiastic and helped secure me an interview with a hiring manager. I was first called by an HR recruiter as more of a screening interview. I then had a phone interview scheduled a month later with two managers. About another month later I received a call from HR with a job offer.

Received my contingent offer at the end of my 3rd interview. Took around 1.5 hours.
