Thanks for your feedback. We understand that the task set is a challenging one. Some candidates do find it taxing however it’s not out of line with similar roles at other agencies. The role involved an understanding of the Chinese digital landscape and an ability to research and present findings to an audience unfamiliar with the Chinese market. We want to ensure that the successful candidate has the adequate skillset to be successful in this role. We are constantly impressed with the calibre of applications we receive and certainly appreciate the time and effort that goes into this work.
Regarding the length of time between interview phases, as we interview multiple candidates for each role we can’t always respond as quickly as candidates want. Especially considering in this case we had candidates coming from out of town who need time to book transport. We believe that rushing through the process would unfairly disadvantage candidates from outside of London or who simply had later initial interviews booked.
We do our best to accommodate requests when it comes to timelines for the hiring process. We feel that a response to candidates within a week of their interview is a fair timeline, considering there were other candidates to also give fair time to present their work.
