It's based on referrals, informal, focused on bringing people from the segment already and not teaching or training there, especially since the structure in Brazil is lean. Few stages and low difficulty level.

Behavioral Technical

The interview process involved several interviews with expected questions. The interview manager was friendly and considerate, and the process was reasonable. Having some device sales experience will help the interview go smoothly, provided you understand the hospital capital sales process and the various steps in an OR building process, including interactions with different teams like Clinical, Engineering, plumbers, electricians, and Architects.

Had a very quick phone interview, lasted about 8 minutes. The interviewer seemed rushed or uninterested, asking everything really fast. At the end, I only got to ask one question before she cut me off and said I could email her with more. I emailed her 30 minutes later, but haven't heard back in three weeks.
