How does RainMaker Group conduct interviews during Covid-19?

While we are used to conducting interviews from different cities, provinces, and countries, the use of video conferencing platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Skype has opened many doors for the legal recruitment process. During these unprecedented times, phone and video interviews are being conducted until in-person interviews can safely resume. Please note, this process varies for each law firm and private and public company we work with.
