First, the recruiters introduced the company to the group since the interview was in a group setting. After that, they asked us to introduce ourselves with name, age, qualities, and defects... basic stuff. We finished the interview and she messaged me for a second interview.

Behavioral Technical

They needed to hire someone very fast, so they considered candidates with and without prior experience. The District Manager seemed unable to handle pressure and didn't support reps he didn't like, sometimes promoting favored reps without merit. The work environment fluctuated based on client and product performance; it was relaxed when the product did well but became high-pressure if it underperformed. The only physical office location was the company's headquarters.

Behavioral Presentation Technical

The interview went well. I mentioned my experience selling the top BPH product, which was the product they were hiring for. I was later told I interviewed well, but the job went to someone with BPH experience. I pointed out again that I had experience selling the #1 BPH product, as we had discussed. The conversation then ended. I suspect the job went to a former employee of the hiring manager, who might have had BPH experience. I was annoyed because my resume clearly stated my experience, we talked about it for an hour, and I reiterated it in my thank-you email, only to be told I didn't get the job due to lack of BPH experience. However, I did appreciate the hiring manager calling to let me know their decision within a week, rather than waiting months for a corporate letter or email.
