I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Pearson (London, England) in Jun 2013
Interview
I was interviewed by two people and made to feel comfortable. I would recommend doing research into the role so you can have good questions prepared. Once the offer was made, there was a quick turn-around. This was a maternity cover position, and they made this clear from the start.
