My personal experience is I walked a resume in to their lead pilot while deployed with the AF. I had an interview there, and he passed on my info to the chief pilot. I was called for a phone interview about 6 months later (I wasn't available until then) and after that I was hired. No test, no sims, just basic questions about willingness to live in crappy locations and what you know about their mission.

I had a chat with those guys last week at an undisclosed location and they said the same thing. know a guy, meet a guy, get a phone call/interview, get a contract, sign contract get a plane ticket in the mail. The irony is even w/ Fed Ex type mins I don't have any turbo prop time and that's becoming an insurance req. I'd have to go slumming to get the type of time they want.

I have zero king air time (or turboprop), and didn't get an interview. They really want turboprop time.
