I submitted an application online and was pleasantly surprise to receive a request for a video interview. I spent time preparing for the interview (practicing questions, doing research on HubSpot, etc.) and sat down in a nice spot during a time when I knew it would be quiet. The questions and the time that you had to think of answer went by quickly, but since I was prepared it felt very straightforward. The next phases were: interview with a recruiter, interview with a sales manager, and then four 30 minute interviews with more sales managers. Oscar Zavala, my recruiter, was available to me throughout the process! He was so friendly and warm and made HubSpot feel like home in comparison to the other companies I was interviewing for. Throughout the process I got the impression that HubSpot is a place to grow better together! They really invest in the people on their team and I am so excited to come onboard! I would say that the secret to doing well in these interviews is to prepare for them. Spend time thinking up questions that the interviewer might ask you and brainstorm answers. Prepare an interesting question to ask at the end of the interview. Know what HubSpot does and know their culture code!

I interviewed for HubSpot (Dublin) in March 2024. The overall process from application to offer took approximately 3 weeks. The initial stage is a a short Zoom call (approximately 30 minutes) with the recruiter assigned to the position, general questions including were asked within this screening call. The recruiter was extremely friendly and provided me with further details on the position including salary, day-to-day tasks, culture of HubSpot and career progression within this particular position. Following this was another 30 minute Zoom call with a manager. This was quite similar to the screening call, with similar questions as above. The manager was also very friendly and welcoming, and provided me with feedback on my answers that I could implement if I were to get into the final round of interviews. Following this was the final round of interviews, which included 3X30 minute zoom calls with the manager I interviewed with previously and two other sales managers. Each manager was very friendly and welcoming again, and showed genuine interest in my answers for each of their questions. The structure of these interviews and answers you provide were the most important, as the STAR process was expected to be used throughout my answers. The STAR process is extremely important throughout the entire interview process but specifically leaning towards the first manager interview and the 3x30 minute interviews. For this specific role, I would ensure that you have examples of targets that you have hit in your previous roles, and think of examples that helped you reached those targets. Make sure to include tangible examples, to ensure that the manager has a full understanding of the specific task/goal you are explaining! Overall my experience interviewing was nothing short of amazing. Any contact I had with the recruiter for the position was happy to help reiterating feedback and clarifying anything I needed prior to any of the rounds of interviews. The recruiter was really there to help me get the position, rather than just see me as another candidate or number on a page, so I felt like a very valued candidate throughout the whole process which was very much appreciated. From this experience, I am excited to say that I have accepted the position and I am looking forward to working with the sales team at HubSpot! :D
