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.

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.
