The assessment of candidate qualifications typically happens in two phases.
The first phase encompasses the formal examination process, which generally involves utilizing a an exam to establish an eligible list of candidates.
The second phase involves those activities associated with the hiring process, such as a writing assessment and a supervisor-conducted hiring interview.

Generally, candidates in the top three ranks qualify to continue in the second phase: the hiring process.

Once you access the assessment, you will have up to two hours to complete it and return it to us via e-mail.
Once we receive your completed assessment, our editor will evaluate it.

The Hiring Interview is the second step in our hiring process.
We invite those candidates with the strongest writing skills for an interview.
During this time, you will meet with potential colleagues and members of our executive management team.
A hiring interview lasts approximately 3 hours and consists of an office tour, a short writing exercise, and two interviews.

This is it! Take your time before making your decision.
Talk it over with your advisor, family, and friends. We want you to be confident in your decision.
