I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at NBS (London, England) in Jul 2014
Interview
The interview process was a single in-office interview with a committee of 3 people - line manager, director and HR manager. It was a simple question and answer interview, with some but not all competency questions. We reviewed the publication I would be working on and discussed my experience.
Then there was a data entry and proofreading task which lasted 20 minutes.
