J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez PLOS
Entretien
First had email contact with a hiring consultant, then email and short phone interview (I basically read my resume to her) with internal HR. Within a week I had a Skype interview with an editorial director then a few weeks later an in-person. The interview consisted of a 1 hour test doing associate editor tasks (read their website thoroughly and know their submission policies well) then 40 minutes talking over my answers with two senior editors. I think I was early in the round of interviews because they did not seem very comfortable with how they wanted to ask questions or lead the discussion. After that I had 15 minutes to meet informally with several editors at the level I would be hired at. It took over 6 weeks and 3 checking in emails to find out I was not offered the position. Not impressed with their HR people.
