The hiring process at Die Gestalten Verlag takes an average of 21 days when considering 2 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Copy Editor had the quickest hiring process (on average 21 days), whereas Copy Editor roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 21 days).
Relatively straight-forward interview process. Quite relaxed and easy going which I appreciated. Nice and friendly. CEO was in and out which was a little off-putting but maybe this was intentional.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Die Gestalten Verlag (Berlin) in Jan 2018
Interview
I applied for the role through their website, but didn't hear back for a couple of weeks. I was delighted when I got an email by the Senior Editor requesting a Skype interview (since I am not located in Berlin), and we arranged for a call about 10 days later. This was a very pleasant and somewhat informal chat with her and another Editor, focussing on my professional background and how I could fit in with them, as well as their setup and philosophy. They emphasised that it'll take 1-2 weeks to make a decision but I felt somehow encouraged by them expressing I might also be a good fit for another opening.
After three weeks I sent a friendly follow-up email asking for an update, but never heard back. I quite like their portfolio, but I consider not getting back to an interviewee bad practice.
