Suited Candidate Assessment
Benesch has partnered with the predictive candidate screening platform Suited to help us better understand our applicants and what makes each one unique. Our goal is to make the recruiting process as fair and seamless as possible, so that we can find the candidates who will be fulfilled in their roles and complementary to our culture. In addition to your academic background and experience, the traits and competencies captured by these assessments have been proven to be both highly relevant and predictive of on-the-job success as a law associate, while reducing bias in the process.
Completion of the Suited assessment is a required part of our application process, and you will receive an email with a link to complete the assessment once you submit your application materials. If you have already complete the Suited assessment for another firm, you will not be required to complete it again and will instead receive an invitation to share your results with us. If you completed the Suited assessment for Benesch as a part of your 1L application process, you will not need to complete it again. Click here to learn more about Suited.
