I applied in-person. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Allstate (Belfast, Irlanda del Norte)
Interview
Interview process was quite lengthy and did take a relative amount if time. First of all it was though submitting a CV took quite a while for a response but then an interview was arranged this was both scenario based and technical questions (they will grill you a bit technically wise) then received an email due to such a high volume of candidates and was invited to fill out an additional application.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Allstate (Portland, OR) in Aug 2012
Interview
Multiple contacts and interviews with many of the Allstate recruiters and phone calls. Initially they wanted me to purchase an Allstate Office out of town whom Agent's contract was being cancelled.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Allstate (Charlotte, NC) in Jan 2009
Interview
Interview process was pretty standard - phone interview followed by on-site testing and finally a one-on-one interview with a manager. The last step was a drug test. The only thing I found slightly annoying is the fact that the testing was on-site which I found unnecessary. I was trying to relocate to Charlotte, so I had to make the 6 hour drive twice.
They are very serious about your background check after you are offered the job. They literally checked every one of my references, called my current job, my high school and my college. There was one detail from my application that was slightly off (because there wasn't a better option for me to select) and they called and grilled me about it. It ended up fine, but just be sure to be 100% truthful on the application.
