Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Falcon? Experience with cold-calls? Questions about team work? Why sales? What motivates you?
Great with various tasks that are best completed using creativity. There was 3 rounds. One was emailing, two were calling based. It is important that you prepare a lot for the calls section but when it really starts be totally relaxed otherwise you might find it hard to field questions.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Brandwatch (London, England) in Nov 2019
Interview
Interview process has 3 stages
- Phone interview with internal recruiter
- Video interview with hiring manager
- Face 2 face with hiring manager and his boss
I had cleared the first two rounds of interview, and was scheduled to come in for a face 2 face interview. 2 hours before the interview I get an email from the internal recruiter about how she would like to cancel my interview.
I ask for clarification, so she called me and basically said, they had too many candidates in consideration before me, so the hiring manager is no longer interested in interviewing me.
This is after they asked me to prepare a mock discovery call and a 30,60, 90 plan. It demonstrates they have no respect for your time, I spent 2-3 hours preparing for the interview, maybe more. All that time spent for no use! Their excuse to cancel 2 hours before the interview doesn't even make sense.
