I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Clark Schaefer Hackett (Cincinnati, OH) in Oct 2022
The interview process was very nice. The atmosphere was very welcoming and casual, which made my overall experience better. They took a lot of the pressure off by including small talk, which was very helpful. The questions were also valuable to me as I am so young in this process. They provided me with a lot of important information and really helped describe what my time would be like at the company.
- They asked me about what I look for in a company.

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Clark Schaefer Hackett
Wonderful first impression, great experience with HR and all those that I interviewed with. However, we talked about expectations on salary and although that was discussed it was largely ignored. I have never received an offer so wildly out of the range that was discussed and honestly it felt like an insult. A word of advice - even if a prospect has outlandish expectations for salary, do not insult them by offering something that is more than 20%+ less than discussed. Will not be recommending this firm to anyone in the future. If you are trying to start a presence in a new area - do not start off this way. Seriously disappointing.
- Questions did not really touch on actual experience, but focused on culture and personality.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Clark Schaefer Hackett
At first, the interview process was handled very well. HR was polite and very professional in our first call, which was followed up with an in-person interview. However, the in-person interview as more of an hour-long overview of the department and company, as opposed to being asked about my experience. At the end of hour, I was asked to do a phone interview to discuss my skills since I didn’t get time to talk, and this was completed the following week. I followed up with the HR after the call and was told they would contact me the next week regarding more interviews, which they did not. I contacted HR via email and a call (spaced out over a couple of weeks), and it has been more than a month since I’ve heard anything – they completely ghosted. Surprising given how well the interview process started.

Anonymous Employee
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Clark Schaefer Hackett
First was an on campus interview with two associates. Fairly casual with questions about interests and why I chose this university. Second was an interview at the office with a senior associate and a manager. Also casual and very welcoming. A few behavioral questions but nothing that you wouldn't expect.
- Why did you choose to attend this university? Tell me about yourself. Tell me about a time where you faced adversity and how you reacted.

I met with a recruiter at a school event. They sent me an email with interview details. It was a conversational interview. No behavioral questions. I met with two staff members followed by Two Managers/Principles. Mostly reviewed my resume. Had a very positive experience. Followed up two days after with an offer.
- Why did I choose audit over tax?

Anonymous Employee in Columbus, OH
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Clark Schaefer Hackett (Columbus, OH) in Jan 2017
The interview process was very easy going from the recruiter to my morning filled with back to back interviews. Everyone was so nice and they really made me feel welcomed. I haven't interviewed in a long time so I was nervous but I didn't need to be because the interviewers were all very down to earth and didn't try to trick me up with any strange questions. The company recruiter is probably the nicest recruiter I've ever dealt with and that was very refreshing!
- I didn't get a whole lot of technical questions (which was nice bc I prepared like I needed to retake the CPA exam). One that I remember is: What accounts do I focus on when preparing financials or a tax return.
