I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Numerator
Interview
I had a disappointing experience interviewing with this company. After multiple interview rounds and a presentation that required a significant time investment, I was ultimately rejected via a generic email. No feedback and no courtesy call.
I understand not being selected, but after asking candidates to commit substantial time and effort, the lack of personal communication feels unprofessional and dismissive.
Initially, I was disappointed not to receive an offer, but after seeing how they handled the rejection, I’m honestly glad I didn’t get the job. A company that asks for that level of effort should show more respect for candidates time.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Numerator in Nov 2024
Interview
I applied via LinkedIn, then reached out to a senior talent acquisition manager to let them know I was very interested in working for this company and that I just applied for the position. 2 days later I received an email from a talent acquisition specialist to schedule an interview. My interview went well, however she didn't ask me very many questions about my experience. Pretty much just told me what Numerator does, what their mid-market sales quotas are and average deal size. We talked for appox. 25 minutes and then she said next step was to interview with 1 of the 2 mid-market hiring managers. 2 days later I get an auto generated email saying after further conversation with the hiring manager, we are not moving forward with the interview process at this time. No reason was given.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Numerator (Chicago, IL) in Jul 2022
Interview
HR screening call, hiring manager phone call, 10-slide mock pitch to a panel of Numerator employees acting as a CPG client, final call with a higher-level manager who was not involved in any of the other calls.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The mock pitch is an attempt to throw you off and ask questions you'd have no way of knowing how to answer. You will spend days preparing (I even had two calls with a current employee to prepare), but there will be no compensation for the time spent. The case study materials are unclear and contradictory, with naming conventions of products/services not matching up with the actual names on the Numerator site, and the questions asked about pricing flexibility and ROI are meant to stump you, as there is literally no information to be found on either. Even if you totally crush the mock pitch and move to the final round, a manager who has not yet spoken to you or seen your pitch will call, ask a few Qs, and make the decision based on their impression. A TON of work, only for someone uninvolved to make the final call based on how he feels about you. You will not get a chance to ask any questions throughout the whole process. I was instructed to send a list of Qs to the final decision-maker, and put a ton of thought into it, only for him to say "I'll answer these if we decide to move forward with you." I then got the rejection email with an offer to set up a meeting to go over feedback. I responded immediately taking them up on the offer, only to be ghosted.
