I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at HSBC (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2009
Interview
Initial email, followed up with interview with manager and HR manager, then coffee with manager and their manager to discuss position and basic understanding of industry etc. Very quick process as skills matched vacancy and they were after someone to start quickly, from initial phone call to contract including testing and two interview was less than a week.
