Great experience from start to finish, met some great people throughout the interview process. They provided me with valuable company insights to help me make a decision. I also received clear feedback shortly after my interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are the key skills you require to be a success in sales?
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Serac Technologies (London, England) in Mar 2024
Interview
Two meetings via Zoom, one with a current Account Executive and one with the Sales Manager.
One in-person interview with Sales Manager and Hiring Manager - tasked to do a 10 minute presentation.
I was told there MAY be a cold calling element to the in-person interview. After arriving, Chief Sales Manager essentially disregarded the presentation I had spent a couple hours preparing for and wanted to go straight into a 15min demo cold call. This was after I was informed this MIGHT be part of the interview.
They ask candidates to create and prepare a 10 min presentation but then disregarded it and then 'surprised' them with a mock cold call you said might not even be a part of the process?
Doesn't really set candidates up for success and the whole thing felt very pointless and a waste of time.
Then got ghosted by the company after we discussed that this was an issue in the current job market - which they agreed with. Quite ironic.
Thanks for the feedback, we make it clear in our interview preparation that you should prepare for a roleplay and also a presentation. We also provide constructive feedback to all candidates irrespective of the outcome, so we're slightly confused how you missed our email / phone call with feedback.
We wish you all the best in your job search and if there's any further questions just let us know.
