I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bloomberg (Hong Kong) in Jul 2015
Interview
Applying through an agent, I have gone through phone interview and group assessment. Phone interview was a general one, asking questions to look at your background, interest and motivation, and importantly, your linguistic ability. Group assessment was 2-hour long, consisting of greeting session, discussion and presentation. Basically throughout the recruitment process Bloomberg is looking for someone who has passion for technology, has good mannerism, has linguistic ability.

The first contact had to be by phone with a person from HR dpt but I actually got directly my first interview on the phone with a TL. Simple questions about my previous experience and my motivation about working at Bloomberg. Been told I had to wait 4-5 days to get a response but actually got an email after 30 mins with an invitation for a recruitment event in London. Waiting to go there.
