Interview
I had an interview with a recruiter and then got an assignment with 2 days to complete it (challenging when you already work full time). I had to prospect a company, answer some questions, write an email and record a follow up video message. A week later, I had interviews with 2 regional directors, a team leader and an AE. This included a cold call simulation. The AE didn't show up. The interview questions were being read from a list. The whole experience felt rushed and robotic. Regardless, I put 100% effort into it, even taking a day off work to interview. I'm an experienced, top-performing SDR who's worked in SaaS for 4 years, I thought I had a pretty good chance of getting the job. I got a phone call saying that I "wasn't convincing enough" and that I should have presented a "3, 6 and 9 month plan" of how I would have been successful in the role. Massively disappointing, seems like they don't know what they're looking for. Everyone who interviewed me was uninterested and going through the motions.

Interview
Lengthy but was a great opportunity to learn and understand the scope of how the recruitment process is done. The opportunity to get to the final stage gave me more insight and will definitely help future applications.

Interview
I have only passed the first-round HR screening interview so far. The HR representative was extremely warm and amiable throughout the conversation. The entire interview process was well-structured, and all the questions raised were professional and pleasant. I had an overall wonderful experience, and I’m eagerly looking forward to advancing to the subsequent interview stages.

Started off good, but ended up in disaster. Was the most messy interview process, no dates available. Was delayed and then ghosted and didn't even explain why I didn't get the job
