Each role has a role profile which details the main duties of the role, lists the essential and desirable skills, experience, and qualification for the role and identifies the key competencies for the role. Our recruiters use the role profile when shortlisting applicants for interview.

If we believe you might be a match for the job you have applied for, you will be invited to participate in our selection process which involves the following stages:
Dependant on the role you may be asked to do an online assessment such as checking information, numerical calculation or verbal reasoning. The role will dictate the type of ability assessment that you complete.
Every role will be required to complete an OPQ which seeks to understand your perceived preferences in typical workplace situations. Our recruiters will assess your preferences against the key competencies, identified from the role profile, to determine if these are likely to be your strength. Our recruiters are fully trained in the use of occupational and ability testing and they are registered with the British Psychological Society.
Interviews allow us to assess your skills and see if you and the role are a match. They are also an opportunity for you to get to know us better. We use two types of interview questions:
Dependant on the role, you may be required to attend a second interview. At the end of the first interview, we will inform you if this will be the case.
For graduate positions, we hold an assessment centre which will take place after the ability assessments and OPQ have been completed. The assessment centre comprises of the following activities:
We will review all information and if we think you are the best candidate for the role, we will make you an offer.
Once you accept our offer, we will begin onboarding so that you have everything you need to begin your career with Clive Owen LLP.
