HOLLIS & BEAN selects candidates on CV only. All CVs must be submitted in English.

We then ask candidates to complete a short test at home to assess their writing and analytical skills (stage 1). Successful candidates are then invited to an on-site writing test (stage 2) and two interviews in person (stages 3 and 4) with different members of the agency.

You do not need to submit a covering letter; in lieu, we may ask you to write a short summary of your impressions of the agency and the role following the first interview.

Our hiring process generally lasts 4-5 weeks. Unfortunately, due to the large volume of applications we receive, we are not able to reply to everyone who sends us a CV. However, once you’ve entered the hiring process, you can expect to hear from us within 2 days for stages 1 and 2 and within 7 days for stages 3 and 4.

Our aim is to make sure you find out as much as possible about the agency, our work and our people before joining, so we encorage you to ask as many questions as possible!
