Interview
depends on the business requirements as to how soon they call you,
sometimes it takes months just for the 1st couple of interviews before the final interview
which consist of an aptitude exams and language exam,
so basically depends on when you apply.sometimes within a week you may get recruited else in some worst case scenarios it took almost 6 months
