Following my online application, I was quickly offered a phone screen with one of HubSpot's recruiters, Tania. This lasted approximately 20 minutes, at the end of which she confirmed that she would be happy to pass me on for a further phone interview with one of their Channel Consultant Managers. This second interview (one week later) consisted of a more in-depth 30 min. conversation about my qualifications and relevant experience, including a couple of STAR-formatted questions. We then carried out 2x 15 min. role play exercises where I had to demonstrate reaching out and engaging with existing HubSpot customers. Roleplays are always a slightly awkward experience, but I also received some great feedback during this stage. A few days later I was finally invited in to HubSpot's Dublin office (the following week) for a round of face-to-face interviews. This involved meeting with 4 different staff members from the Channel Consultant team in back-to-back 30 minute sessions, where I was again interviewed using the STAR technique. Despite being an intense 2-hour experience, the interviewers all maintained a great enthusiasm and managed the whole process with transparency. I felt positive coming out of this third stage interview, but unfortunately in this instance I was contacted the following day with news that HubSpot would not be proceeding any further with my application. I would advise candidates to prepare well for the STAR interview technique, and to complete at least the basic online certificates through HubSpot Academy.

Fair interview timeframe but once you move up in the interviewing process you’re given a project which you are to present at the final round. You are basically given a scenario much like one you’d have if you were in the role. Your job is to be creative but efficient in your problem solving skills.
