I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Maynooth University (Dublin, Dublin) in Nov 2020
Interview
I applied in late September and didn't get contacted until mid-November. HR communicated mainly in emails. I got interviewed online 2 weeks after the invitation.

4 people on the interview panel for an executive job, 3 people asked more than 10 questions within 30 minutes in total, it was indeed a bit tense. The candidate really had to be prepared.
