All practice areas
Stage one - Application form review
What happens
Applications are initially reviewed against objective criteria by HR and Partners.
Stage 2 – Watson Glaser Test
What happens
Long-listed candidates are required to complete a Watson Glaser Test.
The Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal assesses the individual’s capability for critical thinking – a discrete skill distinct from, but not independent of, overall intelligence. It is available online and contains 40 items drawn from an item banked and candidates have a maximum of 30 minutes to complete the test.
Stage 3 – Interview and written test
What happens
Short-listed candidates (approximately 10 candidates) are selected for an interview. Selection is based on the Watson Glaser result and an assessment of the information contained in the application form.
Interviews will be held in May. Two or three partners carry out the interview and there is a short written test.
