Above all, I would say the recruiting process is what made this company lose me as a candidate. The company has a great product, smart people as leaders, and a real footprint in an increasingly important industry. They are poised to do extremely well, and anyone who is on their team will see a long-term benefit. After speaking to their East Coast Sales Manager, as well as other higher-ups, I was really excited at the opportunity to join them. However, this enthusiasm took a huge nosedive once I received the offer. As a savvy job-seeker I planned out my process so that I would have multiple offers to evaluate at the same time. Knowing this, the recruiter became unbearably pushy to try and make me sign before I could get any additional details or time to think about the role. The recruiter consistently tried to dangle the apparent demand to work for CrowdStrike in my face, as if that would make me forego logical decision making. Other tactics included exploding offer threats, criticizing my other offers, and generally downplaying the need to make an informed decision on an "entry level role". I only have two years of experience in sales, but I still understand that closing a deal (or, in this case, candidate) is important. Despite that, pressuring experienced and competent candidates is not an effective means of talent acquisition. You might get people who are bending over backwards to work for CrowdStrike (which is apparently all the recruiter cared about), sure, but such desperation is rarely a good indicator of ability. The cherry on top was that, when I finally chose another company and sent emails informing and thanking the CrowdStrike team, not a single person replied. Every other company I turned down was gracious in their responses, and wished me good luck. That should say enough about how CrowdStrike values employees. I wish CrowdStrike all the best, and it's unfortunate that this kind of friction occurred. I'm sure the actual Sales org there is made up of great people. I met a few of them during my visit, and they were very helpful and encouraging. However, I couldn't overlook how their talent acquisition tactics leave a lot to be desired. The saying goes, "a company will never treat you better than when they're recruiting you". Tread carefully.
