Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to evaluate our interview process and although we are sorry it didn't work out for you to join us, we appreciate you sharing insight.
In addition to relevant experience, we evaluate several factors when considering the best hire for our team. This includes core value alignment, personality fit, flexibility/adaptability, track record of success, amongst others. So although you may not understand some of the non-traditional questions, they tie into our hiring manager's strategy to make sure we have someone that will align with our team and business.
We do our best to get updates as our hiring team provides them but there are instances when we need more time to evaluate our entire pipeline of interviews. As shared with you and all candidates in the interview process, we encourage people to partner with us through their interviews and are open about it taking time to find the right fit for our group. Part of this partnership is encouraging candidates to help hold us accountable to provide updates and take some ownership to ensure they know where they stand in our process. We take into consideration when evaluating candidates, especially those in sales positions, appropriate follow-up. As you know, prospective clients may say they will execute a deal on this date but the day may come and go. So how do they treat the interview process like they would a sales process? (How did they communicate, was there appropriate follow-up, did they send a thank-you, etc.). So we apologize if you didn't like that piece, but for us, it is a part of how we evaluate salespeople.
We hope you have landed a wonderful new position and are happy in your role. Thanks again for providing us feedback and giving us the ability to respond with further insight for future salespeople to benefit.
Sláinte,
