SpotHopper Account Executive Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was pretty straightforward and faster than most other companies, with clear expectations and decent communication. There were three rounds and a mock pitch, similar to what I've experienced elsewhere.

I had 1 phone screen and 2 virtual interviews. I felt confident after each one, and the whole process felt pretty relaxed. Looking back at other interview experiences, I can see how this one was similar. I got a denial email after the second virtual interview. It makes me wonder if they were just checking boxes or actually looking for the best candidate. It would have been nice to get some feedback.

I was contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn about a fully remote position with base salary and commission. I agreed to proceed with the interview process. The initial Zoom call with the recruiter was pleasant. During this time, I was under the impression the role was entirely remote. However, upon researching reviews, I discovered that in-person client meetings were required for local leads, a detail not previously disclosed. When I inquired about the remote aspect, the recruiter confirmed that local client meetings would necessitate in-person attendance. This is a crucial detail to share upfront to avoid wasting candidates' time, especially when they explicitly ask about remote work. Driving to meetings at restaurants does not constitute a fully remote job. Furthermore, the initial interview mentioned a requirement for one reference, which I was prepared for. However, the second interview stipulated that one reference *must* be from a previous manager. This specific requirement regarding the type and source of references was unexpected and not to my liking.
