I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Springer Nature in May 2016
Interview
I have had two phone interviews and two in-person interviews. First with a person from HR, then with a direct superior, then with two direct superiors. The interviewers were friendly and the setting laid-back, they made me feel at ease.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The phone interviews were mostly walking them through my resume and them describing the position. The in-person interviews were quite relax, without the typical questions I expected such as "describe a time you failed", "show and example where you practised your leadership" or "what is your biggest weakness". We mostly discussed my interests in science, the company, and they asked me what i would do in some situations.
These interviews are focused on extracting insights for editorials, commissioned content, and Series, as well as gathering expert perspectives for webinars and podcasts. I prepare thoughtfully, developing targeted questions to ensure the discussion is both informative and engaging, while adapting in real time to explore emerging themes. I also ensure that interviews adhere to ethical and regulatory standards, capturing accurate scientific information while maintaining a clear narrative for publication or educational purpose
I applied online. I interviewed at Springer Nature (Pune) in Aug 2024
Interview
Employer reviews the candidate’s résumé/CV, cover letter, or application form.
Automated systems (ATS) may filter candidates based on keywords and qualifications. A recruiter or HR may reach out via email or phone.
Sometimes involves a phone screening to confirm basic details like skills, experience, salary expectations, and availability.
First it is a regular interview asking about motivations to join Nature. Then, they will ask you to review a manuscript as an editor on zoom and see your real-time performance as a academic reviewer.
