Overview

Interview Assignment Process

Interviews are allocated to students by computer lottery. Assignments are based on student preferences and availability. The majority of students receive the interviews they request. When an employer’s schedule is oversubscribed, the resumes of students on the overflow list are made available to the employer online along with those students who have been granted interviews. For Resume Collect employers, student bids are placed with no order of preference.

Accessing Your Interview Schedule & Student Resumes

OCI and Resume Collect employers will receive an email once their resume packet and/or schedule is available to view in Symplicity. Note: all communications relating our recruiting programs will be sent to the email address of the contact who originally requested a schedule, or is currently attached, if an update took place.

Requests for Writing Samples and Other Materials

For OCI: Resumes will be released to you on-line through Symplicity; for details on transcripts and ancillary materials please refer to page 4 of our SLS Recruiting Policies.

For Resume Collection: If employers wish to request additional materials beyond a resume and cover letter, they should do so by directly contacting the student after reviewing his/her resume. This includes transcripts.

Schedule Changes Made By Employers

If you need to deviate from the schedule in any way (either extend your schedule or end the interviewing early) please e-mail Melissa Leger as soon as possible.

Contacting Students

We encourage students on your overflow list, who were unable to secure an interview with you during OCI, to reach out to you in the hopes of arranging a virtual screening interview, either during your OCI day, or at another time. We hope that you will view their outreach as indicative of a strong interest in you, and will try to accommodate them. Also, you may feel free to reach out to them as well, to the extent that you are interested.

Funding For Public Interest and Government Positions

Public interest and government employers who expect students to secure all or part of their summer funding from external sources should make this clear to all interviewees.

Required Materials

For OCI & Resume Collection Participants

 

As we mentioned in our initial OCI invitation, we recognize that the information that you now provide to NALP regarding your workplace environment and policies is informative and comprehensive, and so we will no longer require an upload of Stanford’s Addendum to the on-line NALP profile. However, we strongly encourage you to upload your own firm narrative which addresses these issues, as they are of extreme importance to students, and doing so will show them the extent of your commitment.

OCI fees are due upon receipt of the invoice.

Submitting Interviewer Names

All OCI employers are asked to submit the name/s of their interviewer/s as soon as possible (unless you included it in your initial registration). If you’ve not yet submitted this information, please email Melissa Leger or call our office at (650) 723-3924. We ask that you also indicate whether or not the interviewer is an alumnus/a of Stanford Law School, and if so, in what year that person graduated. You may also visit Symplicity and enter this information manually into your OCI schedule(s).

Dinner Invitations

In recent years some employers have invited candidates at the conclusion of the on-campus interview to attend a dinner or other event. In some of these instances, it has been unclear to these students the nature of the invitation, as either open to all interviewees, or considered to be private and exclusive. To avoid confusion and prevent students from unintentionally misinforming one another, please be sure to indicate at the time of the invitation extension, the nature of this event and whether or not you wish the student to be discreet.

While we understand that this year will be as it was last season, different from full in person activity, we do anticipate that there will continue to be invitations to attend virtual events and an increasing number of in person ones. Please do let us know what you’re planning, to the extent possible, and keep the above considerations in mind.

After Your Interviews

Following Up

Effective follow-up to your Stanford Law School recruiting visit is important. We have found that law students often measure a potential employer’s interest by the quality and timeliness of the follow-up procedures. At the conclusion of each interview, inform the student of the approximate date to expect your response and of subsequent steps to be taken by students who are selected.

Callbacks

Employers are free to extend callback invitations immediately following their OCI date, with interviews taking place at any time prior to the start of classes in the 3rd week of September. Regarding the decision to hold callback interviews either in-person or virtually, we ask that you act in accordance with COVID health guidelines at that time, and make our students health and health privacy concerns your utmost priority. Students will be expected to comply with all travel guidelines in effect from Stanford University, Stanford Law School, as well as local and county officials. We will keep our employers abreast of current guidelines when necessary.
