The recruitment process is an overkill situation:- 1st step: screening with recruiter 2nd step: interviewed by current EA's Third step: create a PowerPoint presentation based on tasks set out in a document. This will be reviewed, and then you will be shortlisted for an interview (this is the overkill part as this was for a maternity leave contract). I wasn't shortlisted; I received a rejection email 8 days after I submitted the PowerPoint presentation. 4th step interview with the CEO. Everyone I knew laughed at this process; they couldn't believe I had to spend time and submit a PowerPoint presentation for a contract position. The pay offered is below average for an EA. Best of luck to them in trying to find someone who will hold off until October for the role to start.
