Graduate, NEWCASTLE - 22 Jun 2023
Two in person interview, friendly discussions, behavioural questions

We had just one interview which was good as it made the process much less stressful than it was at other firms.

The interview process is highly social and vets candidates for social qualities as well as competency. Initial applications must be submitted without identifiers such as gender, ethnicity etc to remove bias. When selected applicants then had to attend a graduate breakfast. This is not a process in which applicants will be eliminated or anything, but it gives them a chance to feel out the firm and get to know people within the firm. There are then two rounds of interviews. After these interviews conclude offers are made or not made.

I liked how our name, gender, university and address were all redacted at the initial stages of the application to remove any biases. This made the application process very attractive as I knew I would mainly be assessed based on my capabilities, skills and work experience. There were no psychometric tests which is another indication that the firm does not believe in hiring people based off their test scores. The interview process itself was very relaxing (sounds counter intuitive I know) as the Partner, Senior Associate and HR member made me feel very welcomed. I got asked questions about my exchange program, my language skills and my hobbies and the focus was not just on grades and my legal experience.

The interview process was warm and inviting.
Graduate, Sydney - 15 Jun 2023
The HR employee and SC were very warm and friendly and wanted to know me as a person and not just my ability to learn the law.
Graduate, Newcastle - 09 Jun 2023
CV, cover letter and interview with HR, a partner and a senior lawyer.
Graduate, Melbourne - 08 Jun 2023
The interview process was very efficient. I was surprised at how quickly after I applied I was informed of an interview and then from the interview how quickly I was told of the hiring decision. I didn't apply until late 2022 so not within the usual grad timeline.
Graduate, Newcastle - 07 Jun 2023
The hiring process was great. I liked the structure and for myself it was helpful that we didn't hire from the clerkship program as I had not clerked previously (I had been working full-time). I liked how the application process was stripped of all potential biases by removing certain details. I personally liked how there was no assessment centre as they can be quite impersonal, however, I understand they are sometimes required. The interview had a good amount of structure without being robotic; I enjoyed getting to know the firm and speaking about myself among the formal interview questions. On the day of receiving the offer, I got a call from the partner who was in my interview which was a nice touch and different from other firms I was interviewing with at the time.

In Sydney, after getting shortlisted there are two rounds of interviews. There is also a breakfast to meet people at the firm. Both interviews are fairly conversational and are led by a partner and someone from the People and Development team.
Graduate, Sydney - 06 Jun 2023
I submitted a cover letter with my resume and then had an interview with a senior partner and the People & Culture manager. In saying this, I already worked at the firm as an assistant, so this was a quicker process than others.
Graduate, Melbourne - 29 May 2023
One interview, no psychometric testing, a 'get to know the firm' event
Graduate, Melbourne - 29 May 2023
The interview process was quite casual and warm. Provided a good indication of the culture.
Graduate, Melbourne - 29 May 2023
Interview process include completing an online application, meet and great breakfast and interview. I have found this process very efficient unlike other firms where you are required to complete series of other preliminary tasks to before you even secure an interview.
