I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at WTW (Reigate, England) in Nov 2014
Interview
Online application with generic pre-filter questions. A few easy psychometric tests; numerical reasoning and abstract reasoning, both just screening and not going very far up the IQ range. After this was a telephone interview with specific competency questions. I couldn't get past this without much experience to draw on, but I expect most candidates wouldn't have any trouble with it.
