When do ER interviews start?

I have had 5 employee referrals to investment banks/asset management firms and I am getting nowhere. I have yet to hear back from 4 of the referrals.

Has anyone else heard anything about first rounds?

Non-target - East Coast
Solid GPA
Fantastic extra-curriculars/personal investing

ER is all over the place. I already got my SA offer a month ago, as have several friends of mine. We're at a couple different BBs. I recognize that's obviously on the earlier side, though.

Most guys I know are going through their first rounds around now and will likely be flying out in the coming weeks. It's less structured than IBD (to say the least.)
