How our recruitment works
From application to offer, our process is designed to be clear, supportive, and transparent. You'll complete a few simple stages that help us get to know you and give you the chance to experience life at Trowers along the way.
Step 01 - 04
Online application form
The application process begins with our online application form. You will be asked to provide details about your education, work experience/employment history and will be asked to answer a series of additional long-answer questions.
Online strengths-based assessment
Once you have submitted your application, you will automatically be invited to take our online strengths-based assessment which aims to consider your strengths alongside the role of a trainee solicitor and solicitor apprentice. We encourage you to complete the assessment as soon as you are able to and recommend that you do not leave completing the assessment to the final day, in case any technical issues arise.
Before completing the assessment, we would strongly recommend that you complete some practice assessments. You will also receive this link in the email containing your invitation to complete the assessment, after submitting your online application.
Although the assessment is not timed, we recommend that you allow up to 2 hours to complete it.
After you have completed the assessment, you will receive a feedback report. This is for your own personal development and does not represent a decision from us at this stage.
Consideration period
Following on from this, we will consider your online assessment in conjunction with your application form. You will hear whether you have been successful after this initial stage once the vacancy deadline has passed, as we do not recruit on a rolling basis.
Assessment Centre
If you are successful after the application and online assessment, the final stage is an assessment centre comprising three exercises. You will first complete a written exercise remotely in the week before the in-person assessment centre. You will then attend the office you have applied to, where you will complete a strengths-based interview and group exercise.
