      Risk & Compliance: Business Acceptance Lawyer Interview

      Feb 26, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Hong Kong
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Freshfields (Hong Kong) in Feb 2018

      Interview

      I applied through LinkedIn and I was approached by a junior HR person through email. I was initially worried as the HR person only confirmed the interview on the day of the interview. Secondly, I never met the HR in person, when I arrived in their office, I was asked to wait for the interviewer. No interaction with the HR person and when I followed up after the interview with the HR. I was informed that I was not selected and what disappointed me that the HR person informed me about in a standard HR template you would to a fresh graduate applying for a clerical job...."After careful consideration....we regret to inform....." There was no human element or explanation involved. I felt I did good at the interview, so I wrote back asking if there was a specific advise/feedback for me from the interviewer, the HR person replied with another template " we found a stronger candidate with relevant experience".. then why waste my time? Couldn't they have assessed it while comparing the information in the CV. I cannot think about working for a firm which has an HR function that acts as an admin and talks to you like you are chatting to automated customer service chat/email service.
