Interviewing with Clarkston

Hiring Process Overview:

1 – Submit Application: Your resume should be an honest reflection of your experience and capabilities. Show how you have been impactful in roles rather than a list of tasks. Share what your specific career goals are and what interests you about Clarkston.

2 – Application Review: Your resume will be reviewed by our team. If your background aligns with Clarkston’s needs, a recruiter will contact you directly. Due to volume, not every applicant will receive a personal response if they do not meet Clarkston’s expectations.

3 – Recruiter Phone Screen: If your experiences are a good fit for a current role, you will have an in-depth phone interview with a recruiter to learn more about your interests.

4 – Subject Matter Expert Interview: Next in the process you will have an interview with a subject matter expert to assess your skills for the specific position.

5 – Final Interview: If your skills align, you will be invited for a final interview either at a Clarkston office or virtually to meet with several stewards and a partner.

6 – Next Steps: A recruiter will reach out to you with next steps. If your skillset isn’t a fit for the current role, we invite you to stay connected on our careers site and social media.
