Recruitment hub

During the interview, we will ask a variety of competency, technical, and skills-based questions.

These questions will cover topics such as;

• your relevant experience,
• technical knowledge, 
• understanding of Addleshaw Goddard, 
• commercial awareness, 
• motivations and ambitions, 
• approach to teamwork and independent work, 
• and development goals. 

The interview is also an opportunity for you to learn more about us as a prospective employer and ask any questions you may have. Ultimately, it's a chance for you to determine if we are the right fit for you. These questions may be focussed on;

• our work and clients,
• team structure,
• our culture and commitment to employee and partner development,
• firm success and future plans,
• benefits and remuneration,
• our responsible business ethos.

In some cases, there may be an opportunity for you to meet the team on an informal basis. This could involve a relaxed setting with refreshments at one of our offices or an external venue. This meeting allows you to ask further questions and get a sense of what it would be like to work at Addleshaw Goddard, in addition to the formal interview stages. We will coordinate this with you in advance.

When we confirm your interview, we will provide you with directions to our office. 

Typically, the interview location will be where the role is based. However, there may be instances where an onsite interview takes place at a different Addleshaw Goddard office. We will discuss this with you beforehand. 

If your interview is conducted over video, we will share a link for you to join the meeting at the agreed date and time. Please ensure your device is set up in advance, but if you need assistance, we are happy to help with test calls. 

If you experience any delays or connection issues, please keep in touch with us so we can provide additional support.

After your interview, we will strive to keep you informed of our timings. We aim to respond to all candidates within a reasonable time, but occasionally there may be delays. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Becoming a more inclusive workforce is important to us, and as a global law firm, we welcome and value the diverse cultures and backgrounds our people bring as these help shape our collaborative approach to solving problems for our clients and colleagues and focus on creating an open environment that works for everybody.

We are constantly working hard to reduce unconscious bias throughout our recruitment process. For some of our roles, we have introduced blind CVs at the application stage as well as deploying consistent assessment steps, so all candidates are assessed in a fair way. Additionally, we routinely provide unconscious bias training for interviewers at each stage of the recruitment and interview process.
