The interview process was pretty standard for a SDR role. It started with a recruiter call, then an interview with the hiring manager, followed by an email exercise, and then a final interview. The recruiter was good about keeping me in the loop the whole time.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The whole thing took about 5 days. It started with a recruiter call, then a chat with the team manager, and finally a third interview with the team manager and his boss. The first interview with Kelly Zhu, the recruiter, was amazing. She was super open and asked direct questions. She was really engaging and made me feel valued, showing interest in me as a person and what I could bring to Top Hat, but also what the company could offer me. Honestly, she made me feel like Top Hat would be a great place to work, and that's a big reason I accepted their offer. After the call, Kelly clearly laid out the next steps and said the team manager would be in touch soon to set up another interview. She even followed up to make sure I was contacted. The second interview was okay. The team manager focused on my skills and what a typical day would be like. We did a quick roleplay, and he said I'd move on to a final roleplay the next day. The only downside was that the manager seemed a bit distracted, which wasn't ideal. But again, Kelly jumped in and addressed my concerns within an hour. The final interview was mostly roleplay (like 90%), with a few questions from my side (10%). It was very direct and to the point, which I liked. Overall, the process was clear, quick, and felt like a good use of everyone's time.
