Interview to Contract Offer / Timeline

For those of you who got a contract in the last 3 months, how much time passed between getting the role description from the agent, the interview(s) and receiving the final contract?

I had one job take several years. In fact I don't rightly remember how many years before the interview I had the agent asking me if I was interested, but it was more than 3. Between the interview and starting was just over 12 months.

Four months but there were alot of forms and checks to perform.

for me it's usually a case of contacted by agent, interview 2 or 3 days later, offer the same day
