Fieldfisher interview questions

Recruiter screening, two rounds with different partners in the department and a written assessment. Then despite being promised an outcome and following up with the recruiter twice and even the interviewing partner, ghosted by everyone. Really left a sour note to the whole experience.

The recruitment process was disorganised, unreliable, and at one point factually inaccurate. I was invited for an interview on 24 March for a call scheduled on 31 March. I confirmed the same day within the hour — in writing, by email. No Teams link was ever sent proactively. After four days of silence I followed up myself on a Saturday to ask for it. On 30 March, the recruiter responded claiming she had never received my confirmation — despite the fact that my confirmation was sitting in the same thread she was replying to. A belated confirmation was then sent. On 31 March — the morning of the interview — it was cancelled last minute because the interviewer was unwell. No new calendar invite or Teams link was sent when rescheduling. I again had to chase logistics myself. The interview was rescheduled to 8 April at 10:30. No link was sent in the days prior. On the morning of the call I emailed twice asking for the link. The interviewer did not join. No explanation or apology was received. In total: two scheduled interviews missed, four follow-ups sent by me, one false claim that I had not confirmed, and zero proactive communication at any stage. I found this particularly surprising given the role is specifically focused on knowledge enablement and structured communication — the very things this process lacked. I wish the team well, but I would encourage other candidates to document everything carefully and keep expectations low on logistics.
