I had a phone interview with a recruiter the day after I applied, then a virtual interview with the regional manager the following week. The week after that, I had an in-person interview with the local directors, and I received an offer a few days later. First interview was mostly direct experience questions, second was more focused on application Qs, and the final was about personality/company fit.
