Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process moved pretty quickly. It started with a recruiter screen, then a hiring manager interview (for one role), followed by another hiring manager interview (as there were two potential positions). After that, I met with the CRO. Then I got a verbal offer, which I accepted. Sadly, less than a week before my start date, I was informed they didn't have a sufficient territory for me. It was a disappointing end.

I was referred and the recruiter reached out quickly to set up a screening call. She went quiet for two weeks, but then got back to me and we had the call. It was good, she explained the process and set up a call with the Sales Manager. The call with the Sales Manager was disappointing because he seemed distracted and uninterested, making it clear he didn't want to talk. It's a shame for an HR Tech company, but I guess they have a bad reputation for a reason.

I talked to a recruiter who was helpful and answered my questions. She suggested times to speak with the hiring manager. However, the hiring manager missed our scheduled meetings twice, and after that, I lost interest in continuing the process. It's a shame because the company has a good solution for finding candidates, but they need to make the interview experience better to attract people.
