I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Freshfields (Londres, Inglaterra) in Oct 2013
Interview
Three separate interviews - HR, direct line managers and head of department. All were fairly quick. Nothing too testing; I felt they were on my side. I gave them a file of my previous work. There was also a written test.

Question 1
