I recently went through a three-stage process for the six-month editorial assistant role advertised for this company in April, which concluded in early May. This included a 400-word written article, phone interview and in-person interview. Two weeks after my in-person interview to my surprise and without being informed (ie ghosted), they have just advertised the same position for new applicants to begin work in June. Although I never worked for this company, potential applicants should be aware that if they are prepared to go through the hiring process with this company, this could happen to them. So please do bear this in mind before applying to work at this company.

The interview process was incredibly quick. Firstly, I had to do a brief writing task (writing an article from a press release) and once completed, I heard back from the company within a couple of days. Then, I had a phone interview with a senior writer on the team, he asked about my background and why I wanted the job, fairly standard. Then I was invited for a face-to-face interview with the editor and it went well! I was called about an hour after my interview and offered a full-time position. This all happened within a couple of weeks, communication was clear throughout the whole process and I really value how quickly, but efficiently it all went down.
