Behavioral Technical Case Behavioral
The interview process had 5 steps. The first two were discovery calls where they asked about my motivation and tested my language skills, then my sales experience and knowledge of Preply Enterprise. After that was a case study. The fourth call was again about my motivation and understanding of Preply's culture. Finally, the 5th call was about the hiring decision and feedback. I thought the meetings were informative, but I'd suggest shortening the process because it can take up a lot of time and feel overwhelming.

I applied for the Sales Development Representative position. The process moved quickly until I was invited to a one-way video interview. At that point, I decided not to continue. Personally, I think this format is a very cold way to get to know and evaluate a candidate. Since there is no direct exchange or real-time conversation, all the humanity and the essence of what a job interview should be is lost. Although the questions were not difficult, this type of selection causes me anxiety and great discomfort, as it seems like you are talking to a wall instead of a person. I believe that for a sales position, where communication and human connection are fundamental, this method is contradictory and demotivating for the candidate.
