First interview with the team and manager, written test (1 hour test during which you have to write two short breaking news stories based on a press release and a video or audio of an interview) second interview final meeting for job offer.

I applied online for the job. I was then asked to do a interview online (due to Covid-19) with the UK editor. It was 40 mins long and went well, this was a few weeks after my application. One week after my first interview, I was invited for a second interview, again Skype, with the European editor and the UK editor. The questions were harder and more specific. After approx 45 mins they said they would send me a writing test. After one week I heard nothing. After another week, I emailed the person (at Politico) who had set up the interviews asking for feedback as at this point I knew I did not have the job. I received no reply. It is not difficult to send a rejection email to a candidate that has completed two rounds of the interview process. It is poor.
