For me every step in the process took about a month. After I was referred, about one month later I got the call to interview. That interview was scheduled 3-4 weeks out. It took about another 3-4 weeks after that for me to get a tentative offer, and then just over a month for my flight check to be scheduled. After the flight check, I was given a firm offer within 2 days with a choice of start dates. I elected to give my previous employer 1 month notice. So from referred to sitting down at my desk at the FSDO, it was somewhere in the 4-5 month range. For what it’s worth, I’m told that I got pretty lucky, so I’m guessing 6+ months isn’t unusual either.
EDIT: for what it’s worth turns out I still had the emails so I’ll share my specific timeline:
9/13/17: Referred
9/25/17: Called to schedule interview
10/4/17: Interview
10/20/17: Tentative job offer
11/1/17: Called to schedule flight check
12/11/17: Flight check
12/12/17: Firm job offer
1/22/18: Scheduled first day (canceled due to shutdown)
1/29/18: First day at FSDO
