Everything was done online and over the phone. It took a few months after applying to get the phone call. I had one interview. Then I filled out my W4 and I9 getting my I9 noterised before faxing them to the company. I did all my training online. After about a week or two I was able to start. Keep in mind that I was hired for a new project they were starting and had to wait until the project start date which is part of the reason for the long wait to start working.
