Hi! I hope this review will help someone.
Few months ago I applied for a role at Clariness. It seemed really interesting to me, and it was also part-time, which actually surprised me a little, since for a Legal Counsel role full-time presence is usually expected. Overall, the company culture and reviews looked very positive, and I was excited to give it a try.
I was invited to an interview with a recruiter, who gave me a good impression, and I thought my CV and experience looked promising as well. The interview went well, we had a nice conversation, and then I waited for feedback.

A few days later, I received a rejection email with a generic response. However, at the end of the email, I noticed the recruiter’s internal comments that had been accidentally included, and they contained incorrect information about me as a candidate.

Of course, I decided to act and emailed them to say that, while the rejection itself was disappointing, they should at least check the email before sending it out.

I also reached out to someone from leadership, not out of any desire for revenge, but because the situation was extremely frustrating.
After that, they apologized, which I honestly didn’t need, and I was invited to a second interview.

The interview lasted about an hour and started again with apologies and an explanation that it had been a human mistake. Personally, I didn’t need the reason, I was simply a candidate looking for a job.

As the interview continued, the hiring manager started asking me questions about data privacy topics and, most importantly, kept coming back to the email situation, asking related questions about how I would react and trying to assess how I would fit into the company culture.

While I could have had the chance to talk about my abilities, negotiation skills, achievements, and so on, the interview turned more into something that felt like an exam.

When I started asking questions, and I usually prepare some tricky ones, the hiring manager became less direct and said that certain information was confidential. Well.

In the end, I was rejected of course. I kindly asked for feedback so I could prepare better for future interviews, but the response was that the feedback was positive overall. Well, then I do have one question — why not proccesing to the next steps?

So, this review is not meant as a rant or to say anything bad. I’m simply stating the facts. It is more about thinking twice about how you handle such situations and about company culture, especially when someone is just trying to defend themselves.

I won’t wish anything to this company. But I hope this review helps someone.

Jennifer ArthenHead of People

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely acknowledge the error in the rejection email you received. Including internal notes in candidate communication was an unfortunate human mistake and does not reflect the standard of professionalism we aim to uphold. We addressed the issue internally and apologized directly once it was identified.

Following your feedback, we invited you to continue in the process to ensure you had the opportunity to further discuss your experience and qualifications. For legal and compliance-related roles, interview discussions may also include topics related to professional judgment, communication, and handling sensitive situations, alongside technical expertise and experience.

We understand that this experience did not meet your expectations, and we regret that this was your impression of the process. Hiring decisions are always based on a combination of factors, including role requirements and overall alignment in comparison to other candidates at that stage of the process.

We appreciate the time you invested in the process and wish you all the best in your future career opportunities.

Very respectful and appreciative hiring process

Try to shorten the time between interview steps (applied during holiday season, so might be an outlier)
Brief interviewers on previous steps (i.e. requested to prepared a small case study that was not discussed in the next step at all)

Bewerbungsfragen

'Demo Day' - the entire team gets to meet the candidate and vice versa during the group interview stage. Getting to know team members was a huge plus for me personally.

Abgesehen von einer Eingangsbestätigung habe ich 8 Wochen nach Eingang der Bewerbung nichts vom Unternehmen gehört. Das ist schlicht unprofessionell.
