      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      I interviewed at Handshake

      Interview

      I began my journey toward the Sales Development Representative (SDR) role on Handshake by submitting my resume and application through the platform. Following an initial screening with a recruiter, a subsequent phone interview delved into my background, skills, and motivations for pursuing the SDR position. A task or assessment was then assigned to gauge my sales proficiency. Advancing to a virtual interview. I am currently in this position and waiting to hear back from the team.

      Sales Development Representative (SDR) Interview

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Handshake

      Interview

      The scheduling and overall interview process itself was straightforward, but the actual interview experience was extremely disappointing. My interview with Aisha Chisholm, Director of Sales Development, left a very negative impression. From the beginning of the call, the tone felt cold and disengaged. As the conversation progressed, the interaction became increasingly uncomfortable, particularly when discussing my professional background and career decisions. Several responses and follow-up questions came across as condescending rather than conversational or constructive. In the mix of “grilling me” the role was not clearly explained during the interview. I repeatedly had to ask basic questions just to understand responsibilities and expectations. I hope she was just having a bad day and doesn’t treat her employers or colleagues like this because it is extremely unprofessional and rude. In addition, all of this seems to be consistent and apparent with the reviews I’ve found on Glassdoor. Negative reviews on behavioral issues and volatility, especially within the management of the sales teams. I genuinely used to love handshake for what they did in terms of the job search but this has just ruined it for me. This was all my opinion based on my experiences.

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Handshake (New York, NY) in Jun 2021

      Interview

      lengthy and thorough. Great people through and through. They will ask for some writing and call work. SO be prepared. Great managers and leadership. About 6 steps until an offer. Don't be afraid to negotiate.

      Question 1

      They just ask about your experience and try to get a sense of how well you do under pressure.
