I applied online. I interviewed at Zscaler in Mar 2020
Interview
I approached a hiring manager directly through an email, who was very impressed by my profile and the my sales target numbers (I have been a top performer through out my career). I was introduced to a recruiter and was informed that a new person for the region will come on board in March 2020 and will be the hiring manager for this position.
I followed the company on LinkedIn and reached out to the new hiring manager in March but received no response. I saw today that they have hired another person who started in this role in May. While I do wish the best for this person, I don't see anything in his profile or experience which makes him better suited for this role. I have more relevant experience and my sales numbers are way better. Took me about 10 mins to find out from LinkedIn that the hiring manager had worked with an ex-colleague of the new hire, as they discussed their past connection in a LinkedIn post congratulating the new hire.
I have no issues that they didn't hire me but what was essentially wrong, and makes it a strong case of 'Nepotism', is that candidate with a much better profile, relevant experience and sales numbers (quota achievement) was not even considered. I wouldn't have posted this if they had at least interviewed me before rejecting me.
I will never join this company because for me 'Nepotism' is another form of corruption, and a strong sign of the decay when it seeps into an organization.
Pretty straight forward usually a pretty long recruitment process, they do have a panel usually for sales people. I would not say it’s a difficult process. Just come prepared knowing a little bit about the company and bring questions. Make sure you do your research on whoever is interviewing you.
Challenging with a really good panel presentation. The interviewers asked many difficult questions throughout. The prep work took me a good 12+ hours to ensure my content was exactly what they were expecting.
