      Commissioning Editor Interview

      15 Aug 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at The Telegraph (London, England) in Mar 2024

      Interview

      Friendly but hurried. Felt like I might be wasting their time, but follow up contact was ok. Unfortunately it didn't lead to anything, but I was told I could submit freelance ideas

      Commissioning Editor Interview

      27 Dec 2015
      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Telegraph (London, England)

      Interview

      Applied online. Had two interviews within a week of each other with my direct line manager, plus another senior member of the team. Between the two interviews, I was asked to complete a written test which took me about 6 hours (involved having to come up with feature ideas, demonstrate commissioning skills and sub-edit an article). Good communication between me and HR. Offer came the day after the second interview.
