Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Ashby.
Customer Success Manager
After applying, a recruiter reached out and scheduled an interview. Then I met with the hiring manager, but they didn't proceed with me. Both interviews started with me asking my questions first, which felt off and made it hard to sell myself and discuss my experience, leading to generic answers. I prefer to save my questions for the end. The interviewers' questions were vague, and they said my answers were vague too. The interview style and questions lack a personal, conversational feel, especially starting with candidate questions. It felt like they wanted to rush through it. They keep reposting the job because they can't find anyone, which is their fault for the poor structure and questions. I found a better company that chose me as much as I chose them. Ashby didn't really want me.
- What questions do you have for us before we get started?
Customer Success Manager
This interview process took 9 weeks, with a lot of delays and poor communication. The stages included a phone screen, a conversation with a hiring manager, a mock call, and a virtual onsite. The team seemed nice, but they really didn't respect my time. I was always waiting longer than I was told I would be, and even had to wait 20 minutes for one hiring manager to show up. It felt like they intentionally disregarded the timelines they gave for follow-up and made me chase them for updates, which was frustrating. I hope they improve their candidate experience in the future, as a good hiring process reflects the company culture.
- Can you share an example of when you successfully guided a customer in adopting a SaaS product?
Customer Success Manager
I applied for a senior manager role via a referral, even though I felt slightly underqualified. I successfully passed the recruiter screen but unfortunately didn't get past the hiring manager screen. The VP who interviewed me even sent a personal email explaining why they were proceeding with other candidates. I had a feeling rejection was coming, but the respect they showed was exceptional compared to other recruiting processes I've encountered recently. I'm very grateful that a leader took the time to send a thoughtful email. I'd definitely apply again. What a great team they have there.
- Could you tell me about your background?
- Can you tell me about the cross-functional programs you have led?
