I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Oberlin College (Oberlin, OH) in Apr 2017

It was a one day full interview process broken up into 6 sessions. The student session had around 30 people, there was a staff session of 6, and a faculty session for 3 people. It's a pretty long marathon, but the questions generally were the same throughout the day.
