      Sales Interview

      7 Dec 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Firstup (New York, NY) in Nov 2020

      Interview

      A recruiting company they work closely with reached out to me in regards to this job. Pretty easy process, had a couple of Zoom interviews. First interview went well. We discussed my background and how I could be a potential fit with SC. Second interview was with a more senior person went sideways. They were disengaged from the beginning, didn't ask me a single question regarding my background/experience, then proceeded to share the feedback with the recruiter (after I asked for an update several times) that they didn't feel my background would suffice for the role. Mind you, my background was not once discussed, and it actually surpasses their job description. My previous and current achieved quota is higher than the one they have for the role I was interviewing for. They also asked me extremely specific questions regarding the product, buyer and industry that only someone who works there would be able to answer adequately. This was after the stressed how unneccessary it was to have any experience in their product, industries, or buyers. Seemed like they were utilizing the interview to gain competitive advantages as opposed to finding a candidate for an open position. Overall strange and unprofessional process. Seemed biased.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      -"If you had to pick one client to sell Social Chorus to, who would it be and why?" -"I am trying to build a team that can sell into a CIO, which is a new title that we have not sold into in the past. Any piece of advice you can give me in regards to selling to this type of person? I am always looking for different angles"
