I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Martek Marine in May 2020
Interview
They asked to do two tasks as second stage of the recruiting process. The first was a test online.
The tasks were a lead generation plan and a digital benchmark analysis with 5 competitors with an improvement plan.
After two weeks of silence, I contacted them and they replied the position has been put on hold because an intern was put in that role.
So they collected multiple plans for free.

I apologise that your experience with our recruitment process wasn't what you expected. Unfortunately our process can be lengthy and in depth and we had many applicants to assess and review.
The role was offered to an applicant that had applied.
We wish you luck on your job search.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Martek Marine
Interview
I applied through a recruiter. Very extensive interview process with a lot of back and forth and online tests to be completed. I had a Skype interview where I felt like I was interrogated, right down to being asked about my relationship with my parents.
When organising a follow-up email I was told that I wasn't being flexible enough. I pulled out of the interview process when my time management skills were insulted. The whole process felt like they hold themselves above everyone else. As if they are Google. Delusional.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Martek Marine (Rotherham, England) in Feb 2017
Interview
Short Skype interview with potential line manager so they could get a feel of who I am as a person. After this I was sent some online psychometric tests to complete. Due to my results of these tests I was invited to a face to face interview. This interview was long and tough, by far the most difficult interview I have ever been to. I was interviewed by two senior members of Martek separately, they really didn't give anything away so i had no idea how i had done, i in fact came out of the interview thinking I had failed! However was offered the job less than 2 hours later.
