Mine was 2015 after grad school. By then it was lots of applications optimized to make sure it fit the specific job description. Many wanted the equivalent of a cover letter.

There was a quick discussion with HR. Then most interviews were several hours split between 4-5 separate people. I have a PhD, so a couple even had me present my research to a larger group after the interviews.

Technically they could have skype (aka zoom) interviews in 2010, they just werent mainstream. But yeah in the 2000s and before they flew you out and housed you for any job requiring a degree.
