I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Clifford Chance (London, England) in Nov 2024
Interview
Ghosted after two 45-minute assessments. No response to follow up by phone or email. No rejection notification. Just nothing at all. Not OK. Recruitment team needs to update candidates who take assessments.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Clifford Chance (Newcastle upon Tyne, England) in Dec 2024
Interview
CC is the only Magic Circle law firm frequently and consistently advertising this position for day and evening shift. What started as advertisements for full-time contracts has now turned into 12-month contracts. I was sent the same two assessments for both roles. I am highly experienced and completed the assessments without difficulty. Both times, no feedback, interview or offer. No response to follow ups. I was disillusioned as to why then I received an email confirming the base salary of “early 20sk” and an out of hours addition of £3750 - for evening and weekends! This is worse than what I was offered with zero experience as a trainee proofreader 10 years ago. No wonder high turnover. Absolutely terrible recruitment and reward.
