I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Everforth Apex Systems (Columbus, OH) in Dec 2018
Interview
A 3rd party recruiter reached out to me on Linkedln and step up a phone screening. After a very easy phone screening, a different recruiter did my phone interview which was more difficult then the in-person interview with Apex themselves. The phone interview lasted about 30 minutes and involved very specific, example driven questions about my personality and experience. I was then offered to come into the Columbus branch for an in-person interview. I was interviewed by manager first who asked general questions about my sales experience and reasons for potentially working at Apex. Then I had another manager and a top performer in the office who asked the same general questions and made sure my questions were answered.
I would suggest coming in with several detailed questions prepared to better understand the role. Be confident about your experience, make it clear how competitive and motivated you are, and don't be afraid to ask to shadow someone in the office.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Describe a situation where things did not go as planned and how you dealt with it.
Two rounds. First with recruiter and then with the team. The team I met was insufferable. These people really thought they were gods or something. The whole job is just cold calling all day which is nothing special. One of them bragged about "meeting the CEO of Microsoft" and the other about how "all the account managers here are millionaires". It was like something out of the movie Boiler Room. "It's not about if your going to be a millionaire, it's about how many time over" -Ben Affleck. Terrible experience. Also, at the end of Boiler Room the whole company gets raided by the FBI...
I applied online. I interviewed at Everforth Apex Systems (Texas City, TX) in Apr 2025
Interview
one phone screen, one in-person interview. Not much detailing into the role, the training, and overall work-life balance. Day to day responsibilities or company in-office culture was not talked about at all or the support/team help with creating new business.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Everforth Apex Systems (Vancouver, BC) in Mar 2025
Interview
A very structured company with genuinely amazing people. I went through 3 rounds of interviews and had the chance to speak with the recruiter, the hiring manager, and a member of the leadership team. Every single person I spoke with was incredibly accommodating, respectful, and thoughtful throughout the process. It was a truly positive interview experience from start to finish. I decline because I could not commit to the start date and had an emergency which required me to travel outside the country. Also, the 10 days PTO in the first year did not work for me.
