First I had a call with a recruiter, then a second call with someone from the team I would be joining. They asked me specific questions about sales and organizations. It felt a bit rigid because I had to write down answers, but the informal conversation at the end was really open.

Scheduling the call was quick and easy. The talent specialists are located in Latvia. I felt like the recruiter was disengaged and just reading from a script, unlike other interviews where they ask more engaging and thought-provoking questions.

Behavioral Technical Coding Presentation Case

First, I had a phone interview with HR where we went through my CV in detail and they asked about my interest and motivations to join GoCardless. Then, I had a sales assessment through Skype, which included a mock sales call with feedback, followed by a second mock sales call. The final round of interviews was at the GoCardless office. This involved an interview with the Inbound Sales Manager & Account Executives Manager, covering my CV, motivations, and interests, as well as a follow-up email assessment. I also interviewed with two Country Managers and the CEO. Finally, there was a call with the VP of Sales.
