      Hi, I'm sorry to hear that the process stalled with your application. We are working hard to make every application a great experience for candidates. I would love to understand what happened here and how we could reengage with you, or at least avoid this situation in the future. I wonder if you would be open to dropping me an email so I can look into it? Best regards, Ed Ross Director, Talent Acquisition ed.ross@aiven.io

      London, England
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Aiven (London, England) in Apr 2023

      Interview

      4 stages wrapped up in about 3-4 weeks end to end (would have been quicker but had commitments on my side). Straightforward process and negotiations. Definitely one of the better processes I went through, everyone was on the ball and tried to cater to my timelines despite them accelerating mid-process and being pretty short to begin with. First call with internal recruiter (30 mins). Two way exploratory convo for you to walk through your background and also to learn more about Aiven. Second call with hiring manager (30 mins): More of a deep dive than first call into your background and track record. Third call with a rep in region (30 mins): Deeper dive into sales process, track record, character. Final stage with team lead and hiring manager (60 mins): Walk through a deck of your approach to prospecting, account research, Aiven value prop etc.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      - What's your experience in b2b sales/business development? - When was the last time you failed at something and how did you respond? - What's your understanding of Aiven? - Why sales? - How would you approach breaking into an account from scratch? - How would you approach onboarding?
