The interview process is very relaxed. Partners are very friendly and welcoming, which makes the interview process very chill and interactive. You will not be asked one of those trick questions, instead the firm is more focused on discovering you and learning if you have a strong character and can be part of the culture.

The recruitment process for the summer clerkship was very intense and long. It involved up to 3 interviews, psychometric testing and an assessment center. It was a lot more extensive compared to other firms, but ultimately I found this to be beneficial because I felt like I learnt more about G+T, compared to other firms, during the application process.

The firm shows curiosity in the candidate's passions outside of law, and is quite transparent about life as a graduate/lawyer at the firm throughout the recruitment process. Candidates have opportunities to connect with junior or mid-level lawyers throughout the recruitment process to find out more about the firm and the nature of work undertaken. Everyone involved in the recruitment process are quite receptive to follow-up requests and coffee catch-ups therefore there is plenty of opportunity to discern if the firm is the correct fit for the candidate. The clerkship process, while longer than most other firms, is still quite engaging and allows the candidate to show more of their personality and skills to the firm that would make them a perfect fit.

Although there are more stages of the interview process compared to other firms (for clerkships), our recruiters are excellent at identifying friendly, enthusiastic, curious individuals who make a great fit within the firm culture.

Although the interview process was rigorous it was enjoyable and you really got a sense of the firm and its culture. The interviews were fairly casual which is a good reflection of the firm in general.

Interview process is lengthy but needed to get good quality people. there is the submission of your resume, online video then half a day workshop that includes a 30 minute interview and 3 panels where you can ask questions to staff then networking. I think there needs to be a goodbye speech towards the end of the networking as clerk candidates feel awkward leaving and it is a safety issue if clerk candidates leave after 6pm and need to get public transport from the city.

The interview process is good, because G+T puts you in front of a Partner, who are all very pleasant and relatable. That being said, the psychometric assessments employed are, I think, quite arbitrary and of limited utility. For example, I did not pass the psychometric tests during the clerkship phase, and I excel at my job here. So I think standardised psychometric tests could/should be paired back when possible.

Interview process was fairly similar to all the other interviews I have gone to.

I enjoyed the extra steps in the clerkship application process - I felt that it let me shame more aspects of my personality that I couldn't do on a piece of paper or in an interview.
