2 phone interviews, a face-to-face interview + editing task + 30 min presentation (combined for me), then a chat with the CEO or similar in the US if successful.
I found all of the staff to be engaging and I really liked their system. However, the presentation brief was confusing - they ask you to prepare a "content strategy", but then talk about putting together a "content campaign". The reason they gave me for not selecting me was that they were looking for someone with "more varied/less campaign-driven experience" - which confused me because I personally have very little campaign experience and they had specifically asked me to pitch a content campaign.
While I thought that the interview process was net positive, I would suggest that they rethink the presentation. A 20-min presentation with 10 mins of questions took me about 10 hours to prepare on top of working full time, which was a huge effort on my part (ultimately for no gain). For interviews at other companies the presentation element was 10-15 mins, which I think is more reasonable.

Question 1
How would you get a piece of content to rank at the top of Google?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at NewsCred (London, England) in Nov 2021
Interview
Phone call interviews then face-to-face with presentation. Hiring manager sat on phone during presentation and didn't seem too happy to be working there. Wasn't surprised to not get it and maybe dodged a bullet.

Question 1
If a client was unhappy with our service, how would you respond?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NewsCred (London, England) in Jan 2019
Interview
The recruiter was impersonal and unprofessional, seemed very uninvolved in the candidates being interviewed. When scheduling an in-person interview, they had sent me the incorrect address to the office location.
