emarsys Sales Development Representative Interview Questions
& Process

Interview with recruiter at a very inconvenient times because they are located in Europe. Then interview with account manager and the director who was busy doing other stuff when interviewing. Not clear about the hiring process, took too long to tell you they decided to hire someone else.

I applied online and was contacted by a Talent Acquisition Partner within a few days to schedule a 30-minute phone call. This initial chat was a standard 'get to know you' session covering my background, motivations, and interest in Emarsys, with ample time for my questions. After that, I met a Sales Manager at a coffee shop for a more in-depth discussion about my experience, current role's KPIs, and my understanding of Emarsys and the digital marketing industry, again with time for questions about team goals and dynamics. The final round was a 2-hour on-site which began with a panel interview with the Sales Enablement Manager and two team members, offering a feel for the company culture. This was followed by an hour of shadowing a team member to see their day-to-day work and client interactions. I then had a wrap-up with the Sales Manager to discuss next steps. A few days later, I provided professional references and then had a final call with the original recruiter to discuss my interview experience and thoughts on the role and company before receiving an offer, which I accepted.

The entire process took about 5 weeks, including a decision-maker's vacation, which was fine by me as it gave me more time to get a good look and decide. First, there was a preliminary call with talent acquisition at HQ. Very pleasant contact. Then, I was contacted directly by the unit where the position is located. This involved a call with the team leader and an in-person meeting with the team leader and managing director. A trial work period was also offered, which is beneficial for everyone involved. I also met my future personal HR contact via video call. Overall, a thorough and very pleasant application process, conducted person-to-person. You feel comfortable asking and answering all questions, which makes the process easy.
