I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HIPR (Ann Arbor, MI) in Jun 2014
Interview
I was sat down with a clients C.V. and told to write a recommendation letter from the perspective of the guy whose C.V. i was holding. It was super odd. I wore a suit, i was surrounded by people dressed in PJs. Ultimately, all they care about is your quality of writing and your ability to perform those skills on the spot without any sort of preparation. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't impossible.
A rule of thumb for interviewing at Hudson Legal - #1, In college if you were able to write a complete paper the night before it was due and get an A, you'll be fine getting an offer. #2 Don't apply. They don't meet the industry standards of pay and it will hurt your resume unless you are going to be a lawyer. It's an easy trap, and one that's hard to get out of.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They didn't ask me anything. They just wanted me to write.
Good experience. The initial writing assessment was very difficult, but it's easily do-able within the time limit. I also had a phone interview with HR that went into the basics of the job and the expectations. There were plenty of opportunities to ask questions and clarify information.
I applied online. I interviewed at HIPR in Feb 2021
Interview
It was a relatively easy interview. The questions asked were pretty standard. They wanted to know about my education, writing process, why I wanted to work there, etc. The bulk of the decision was based on a time-sensitive writing assignment I was to complete after the interview.
Honestly, I think the decision process is a bit backwards. They judge you almost solely based on your ability to complete a difficult writing assignment based on the time allotted. That's not the issue I have, though. They say they'll train you if you get the job, but apparently you won't get the job unless you complete the writing assessment perfectly. And of course, if you've never done something like this before, you won't be able to complete it perfectly... that's what the training is for.
Overall, I didn't have a negative experience, but if you aren't used to interpreting scientific papers, you may want to save yourself some time and skip this application process.
I applied online. I interviewed at HIPR (Cincinnati, OH) in Jul 2020
Interview
Had a phone HR interview, then took a 2 hour writing test. They didn't move forward after that. Don't know if it was due to the test or my lack of experience at the time; I emailed the recruiter to ask and didn't hear back.
