New Breed Revenue Interview Questions
& Process

My interview process was phenomenal. In a time that has seen a particularly challenging job market, the interview process at New Breed stood out as truly exceptional on its own, and especially compared to other interview processes I experienced. I had an initial introduction to their Lead Talent Strategist, Tricia, early in 2023 and we had a great conversation about what I was looking for in my next role. At that particular time the career move I was trying to make wasn't fully aligned. I reached back out later in the year, about 6 months later, and we had a great conversation reconnecting. At this point in time what I was looking for in my next career move was aligned with an open position. I went through three rounds of interviews in total - one with the Lead Talent Strategist, one with the Hiring Manager, and one with two senior members of the RevOps Team. Throughout the entire process, Tricia was incredibly responsive/timely, communicative, and transparent. There was never a moment that I felt I didn't know what was going on and she was always open to questions through the process. It's clear that New Breed cares deeply about the candidate experience in their recruiting efforts.

The whole thing took about 2.5 months, starting from early February and going all the way to mid-October. It involved three video calls, one of which had an assessment. Turns out, this was a new role and they were hiring multiple people. I actually got the optional HubSpot Inbound Marketing certificate because I found out the career path would likely lead to an Inbound Marketing role. I think they were a bit worried about my relocation timeline, needing more than two weeks, but it seems like they're more open to remote work now. After the third interview and assessment, everything just stopped from mid-April to early October because of COVID-19. For the first few months, I got these emails every month saying they were still interested, and then just radio silence for months. When they finally reached out again in early October, they wanted another video call. They didn't send any meeting details, so I couldn't even reach out to them, I just had to wait for them to email me, which cut into the call time. During the call, I sensed some lack of interest. They mentioned they'd already hired one person but were planning to hire several more project managers in the next two months, and confirmed remote roles were available. About a week later, I got an email saying that after reviewing all the top candidates, they decided to only hire one project manager this time. I later found out the job was posted again between my last call and the rejection email. I guess their needs must have changed during that long process and I wasn't the right fit anymore. They were always nice and responded quickly at first, but sometimes being direct is better. I'm sure other candidates felt the same way and would have appreciated a more direct and timely rejection when things changed over the summer. I'm still bummed about it, but honestly, I feel like I was strung along way longer than needed and I'm now skeptical about how they presented this opportunity.

I met with key leadership at the office a few times and they were upfront and honest about the role and the company. My voice was heard, and even though I wasn't fully qualified, the team validated my efforts and gave me useful feedback. The process was enlightening and inspiring, making me want to make a change regardless of the outcome. I'd tell the company to keep up the great work and stay consistent in their methods for client principles, internal culture, and recruitment.

The interview process was really smooth and quick. They got back to me fast after I applied and scheduled interviews that worked with my availability. They also sent follow-up emails so I was always in the loop about where I stood. The people handling recruitment knew a lot about the job and understood how the real-world examples I shared related to what they were looking for.
