The hiring process at Legalist takes an average of 31 days when considering 2 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Software Engineer had the quickest hiring process (on average 31 days), whereas Software Engineer roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 31 days).
Fairly standard/expected process. Questions about interest in job/lit finance, discussion of relevant experience, etc. Written test based on sample case with investment prospect analysis. 3 rounds overall - supervisor, peer, founder. Very fair process overall.
I applied online. I interviewed at Legalist in Sep 2024
Interview
I was asked for availability for an initial interview by the HR, around late Wednesday afternoon and I was not available that week so I asked for availability for next week. I didn't get a reply for contacted again after a week then got an automated message saying that the HR was on holiday for almost 2 weeks. Then a week after the HR came back, I emailed again but got ghosted.
Outtake - they do not consider your time and just want you to dance around their fingertips if you want to give an interview
The interview was extremely short and gave me the impression from the start that they weren't willing to hire me even before I had done any assessments. Phone call -> Take home -> Few more meetings with team member and CEO.
