I was contacted via LinkedIn for a special recruitment in my country (Mexico). I was asked to submit my resumé and they sent me an email with the schedule for my interview. They told me that they wouldn't go further with my application that same day. The process was pretty fast, about 5-6 days from the day I was contacted through LinkedIn to the day I was rejected.
