I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Ultius in Jan 2016
Interview
The interview was very simple. I submitted a writing sample that demonstrated my ability to produce quality academic writing. I also answered some questions by email about my experience and motivation to write for the company.

I never even received a grammar test. My application went to a black hole and later I received a typical rejection letter. I filled out an online application and followed all the steps and it got rejected within 2 days without an explanation.

Question 1
I never even had a grammar test or was able to submit a writing sample due to rudeness and shortsighted managers.
Thank you for taking the time to review the application process for the freelance writer position. I wonder if you have us confused with another company. You mentioned a grammar test twice, so that must have been your expectation. However, we do not typically send out grammar tests to applicants, so I'm not sure why you would expect that from us. In any case, I apologize for your negative experience. I hope you are able to find a position more suited to your expectations. Best of luck to you.
Been in the industry for years, extremely qualified, solid multi media samples with known media and publishing outlets, references, industry awards, the who nine yards. Always looking for more great writing work at a fair salary. Saw the ad for writers with my qualifications for this company, applied, received a suspiciously unprofessional response. Upon reading other reviews of this company's recruiting and interviewing process, my suspicions are now 100% confirmed - this company is not interested in hiring qualified, experienced, professional writers. If that is what you are, do not waste one minute of your hard earned time trying to interview with this company.
Thank you for taking the time to post a review for the freelance writer position. I apologize that you weren't pleased with the application process. While we are always looking for great writers, not all great writers are a good fit for this position at the time of application. For example, if we have enough writers who specialize in a specific style of writing, we generally do not hire additional writers with that specialty. I hope you are able to find more writing opportunities that match you skill set and desired pay range. Thank you again for reviewing our process.
