I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Essilor (Houston, TX) in Jul 2015
Interview
Phone interview. Then face to face interview with hiring manager. And one other person. Quick through the phone but took a long time to get back to me to schedule face to face
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Essilor (Henderson, NV) in May 2017
Interview
This process was entirely too long and honestly somewhat absurd. It started with a phone screen with an outside recruiter, moved to a video interview through a platform called HireVue, then to a phone interview with the hiring manager, then a phone interview with her boss, then a Gallup assessment for personality/ sales process acumen, and THEN would have moved to an in person interview (and honestly, who knows how many) had I not been offered and accepted another job. Overall poor communication and far too labor intensive of a process for the OTE and limited upside potential of this company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All very rote- basic sales interview questions.
Tell me about how you manage your territory?
Describe a time when you were able to expand sales within an existing account
How do you prospect?
What does your initial appointment with a prospect look like?
The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Essilor in Sept 2009
Interview
phone screen with hr. invite to meet with hiring manager 1-1, this was more of a get to know you session and to see what type of sales person you are. light on behavioral questions but more heavy on experience and story telling. final interview 1-1 with hiring manager usually invite top 2-3 candidates back
