Syneos Health Commercial Solutions Sales Representative Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was virtual and involved a video recording, which was pretty awkward but necessary to filter candidates. Then there was an interview with the sales manager and finally with the VP of Sales. Confidence in your answers is key.

I had every qualification that was listed on the Syneos posting. I contacted the recruiter for the posting. The recruiter kept putting me off. After six weeks of trying to talk with the recruiter, I received an email stating "I will see if our DM is open to someone who has been out of the market for a bit!" I never heard back from the recruiter until my resume was sent directly to the hiring manager from a sales representative. I received a call from the recruiter the following morning. Let me fast forward, I had a face to face interview with the hiring manager. During the interview, I asked the manager if he had an issue with me being out of pharmaceutical sales for a couple of years. He directly told me he did not have an issue with it all! He was confident that I would jump right back into pharmaceutical sales. The manager also told me I had more experience in the class of drug being promoted than he did. The interview with the manger was very pleasant. It was a great conversational interview. Unfortunately, I was not extended an offer. I know who got the job and the reason say that person got the job over me. I will say, it was not my qualifications. The recruit did tell me that the manger said I was an excellent candidate and should be considered for other openings. I feel the recruiter will not contact or consider me! Over the past eight years, I have applied for over 49 positions with inVentiv Health/Syseos Health. The positions have been in two different states with the same recruiter. I am an excellent award winning candidate. I feel I have been discriminated against. Syneos does not inform you when are no longer being considered for a position that you have applied for. How unprofessional! I would NOT recommend anyone applying or even working at Syneos Health.

Had a panel interview with 6 people from the senior leadership team. It was two sessions, one 3 hours and the other 3.5 hours, back to back. The first three leaders interviewed me, then I immediately went to the next three.
