I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Kempinski in Feb 2009
Interview
It was very straight forward a one on one over the phone with the GM and after that with one of his exec. Team. No psychometric testing or similar. Process was completed within 2 weeks after first interview. Underlined the individualism the company puts one as their core competencies as the GM decides if you fit or not and not a overall company profile.
