I applied through college or university. I interviewed at IMC Trading
Interview
Applied on campus through recruiter, asked to take multiple choice IQ/quantitative reasoning online test shortly thereafter. Followed by short (20 min) interview with HR consisting of basic behavioral and option pricing questions, and a superday on-site. Overall process was quite enjoyable, with uniformly nice interviewers that try to help as much as possible, and professional recruiters who always responded promptly to e-mail.
