Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at XANT.
Account Executive
I sent in my resume through their website and also via a LinkedIn connection. Within a few days, I got an email to schedule a face-to-face interview, and they also sent instructions for a personality profile test to do before the interview. I met the hiring manager in a room off the sales floor. The interview felt pretty friendly, but the sales floor was quiet and mostly empty. Looking back, I think the hiring manager expected me to take the lead and do more selling of myself, rather than just answering his questions. They seem to prefer assertiveness over analytical thinking.
- Which sales methodology do you follow?
- Can you share the outcomes of your personality profile assessment?
Sales Account Executive
We kicked off with a job overview session, which was basically a cattle call with lots of applicants. They talked about the company history and different jobs. The recruiters mentioned higher compensation than management actually offers. First, I met with a lower-level manager. If they liked me, I had to wait about 30 minutes to an hour, sometimes being asked to come back another day, to meet with a high-level person or VP. If that went well, I got to interview with Dave Elkington, the CEO, which was pretty cool since he interviews everyone.
- What would be your alternative career path if this opportunity didn't pan out?
Sales Executive
I spoke with 3 Sales Managers, 2 Sales Directors, and the VP of HR over 7 days. It wasn't the most intense interview process I've experienced. The people I met were all really nice, professional, and upfront with me, and they answered my questions directly.
- In your current sales position, how much time do you dedicate to prospecting?
