Reviewer,
First, thank you for the time you invested in our interview process. Though it was not a great fit professionally, feedback is always valued.
This a sales job, so personality and charisma are vital to having a great sales career. We focus a lot on teamwork and team development by hosting a lot of team events and leadership development activities, so we always like to confirm that a potential candidate is a good fit for our corporate culture. As you recall, we mentioned we have 3 step interview processes -- the first being a brief preliminary interview to get to know the candidate on a fundamental level and make sure our goals are aligned.
To explain the position and what we do as a company during our preliminary interview averages 8-10 minutes and the other half of the interview is open for dialogue based on what questions the candidate comes prepared with. At DMA, we believe in a merit-based business, where the capacity of growth is measured and rewarded based on self-development not the numerical years of experience. We are perplexed as to why you thought DMA is low staffed, as we recently expanded into multiple offices across the Charlotte region with multiple Fortune 500 clients. The gentlemen that conducted the interview was part of our hiring and management team. His recent promotion was to one of our expansion offices (again growing)! His recent promotion to market manager is a substantial promotion.
Again, though the position wasn't a mutual fit, we respect your time and opinion, Best of luck in your future endeavors!
Best,
Management
