J'ai postulé via une agence de recrutement. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Elsevier (Oxford, Angleterre) en avr. 2025
Entretien
I got a first stage interview relatively quickly after applying for the role. The interview itself went very well, it felt more like a relaxed conversation and they gave me the opportunity to ask questions at any point.
I was told that I would be notified within a week whether or not I'd gotten through to the next round. However, it has been over a month since my initial interview and I am yet to receive any email or phone call despite sending a polite follow-up email a few weeks ago too.
J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Elsevier
Entretien
Applied online, got an email from the recruiting secretary the next day and had to answer some preliminary questions. Then was told I was in the second pool of candidates but still was invited for an interview with 3 hiring managers. Standard interview with questions mostly read from a paper. Took over an hour. Got a call from the hiring manager a week later and was told I was overqualified and they hired someone with less experience who 'fit the team culture better'.
