The hiring process

The Equinox hiring process usually involves three interviews: one with a consultant, one with a manager, and one with a partner. The entire process takes about three weeks. We do our best to review applications as quickly as possible and keep applicants informed at each stage of the hiring process.

The firm likes to get to know potential future colleagues personally, so as to determine whether they share our values. However, we do not believe in asking trick questions during job interviews; we prefer that applicants be themselves and reveal what makes them unique.
