The hiring process at Bloomsbury takes an average of 35 days when considering 1 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Editor had the quickest hiring process (on average 35 days), whereas Editor roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 35 days).
I had quick screener call over the phone and then an interview a few days later. It was a casual conversation and they were very friendly interviewers, with the expected questions.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Bloomsbury (London, England) in Aug 2024
Interview
Took 8 weeks from submitting an application to getting offered an interview; I had assumed I was rejected. Then it was another two weeks to hear back after the interview. Insanely drawn-out process which was very frustrating. The interview itself, however, was perfectly pleasant. Was asked to do a prioritising task in advance then had an in-person interview with two friendly employees.

Question 1
When was a time you had to handle a sensitive situation?
Had a 30 minute full interview with the recruiter, talked to 2 U.S. based marketers, and then had interviews with UK based marketers who asked for work samples. They then ghosted. So, not great. But the process went smoothly while I was still in it.
