Applied on DocuSign website and got contacted by recruiter after a month, had interview scheduled directly with Hiring Manager. On the job description, it says saas selling experience as preferred qualification but not basic. However, when I ask the Hiring Manager what makes a successful candidate, he said saas selling experience is very important for this role and I am probably not the right fit. I felt a little bit disappointed after the interview as I have 0 experience in selling software and was simply trying to explore another untouched industry. The fact that I have 0 experience is well listed on my resume.
It wasn't a good use of my time as well as the Hiring Manager's. I prepped a lot as I understand it would be a difficult interview for me as an 'outsider'.
If it is something that important then it should not be listed as 'preferred'. I would encourage candidate to double check with recruiter if saas selling experience is a 'must have' for the role they apply for if they are inexperience in this field.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Docusign in May 2025
Interview
Really swift and positive. Good Information given and direct feedback. Seemed like a really good place to work for and people to work with. Would highly recommend. Discovery call was challenging in a good way

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Docusign (New York, NY) in Apr 2025
Interview
I interviewed with Docusign for an Account Executive role. All men interviewed me in every round. I got to the final round, and they kept asking me what information the recruiter gave me prior to the final round interview. Leadership seems to have issues with the recruiting team and didn’t offer the eposition because they felt the recruiter helped me too much. Very backwards and unfair to the candidate. I stayed with my current job after all that, where the salary is higher actually. Dodged a bullet.
Pretty standard interview process: 4 rounds (Recruiter > Hiring Manager > Presentation > Final Round). Never received any feedback or a decision after the final stage which was pretty frustrating.
