I was contacted on LinkedIn and went through a phone interview. Then I had to make a slide deck in three days and presented it to the sales manager. The whole thing took about three weeks. It felt informal and like they were looking for more than entry-level qualifications. I suspect they were using the presentation to get free ideas without giving feedback.

Presentation Behavioral
The whole thing took about 3 weeks. It started with a LinkedIn message, then a phone call. After that, I had to make a slide deck in 3 days, and then I interviewed with the sales manager. The vibe was pretty casual, which was kinda weird. Also, they seemed to want more experience than an entry-level SDR usually has. The slide deck felt like they just wanted free ideas without giving any feedback, which made me think they might be using candidates for free brainstorming. So yeah, it seemed a bit unprofessional and I was wary.

Behavioral Presentation Technical
I applied online and then had a recruiter call. Next, I got a take-home assignment where I had to build a slide deck about Hive's products and how I'd find accounts and leads. Then I met the business development manager, followed by the Head of Sales. The last step was a final screening with the CEO, who asked some basic questions and then made me an offer right on the call.
