I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tesla in Jan 2018
Interview
I was contacted via LinkedIn, explaining a job opportunity at the Gigafactory.
After emailing them my resume, the in-house recruiter got back to me in a day and set up a screening phone call.
Then she passed my resume on to the hiring manager of the team I would be applying for.
The original recruiter called back the same day to set up a phone interview between me and that hiring manager.
After that interview, I was passed onto another team's hiring manager because I expressed interest in another closely related job.
They seem to move very quickly and are very polite.
