Interview
I applied through an employee referral in September 2020. Completed a 30 minute phone call with the recruiter
I was quite disappointed with my experience. I had high expectation's after hearing so many good things about HubSpot.
The recruiter seemed very disinterested from the start. It didn't feel like a conversation more like she was just reading questions from a sheet of paper and not listening or responding to my answers. It felt very uncomfortable and rushed.
The recruiter did follow up to tell me I was unsuccessful and when I asked for feedback she did respond, which I appreciated however, she told me other candidates backgrounds were better aligned to the role.. I have been doing this role in another MNC for over two years.
Overall, I felt like I wasn't going to be given a fair chance from the get go.

Interview
Very thorough and transparent interview process. Make sure you come well-prepared and can confidently speak to your ability to consistently execute 50+ outbound calls per day. I would also recommend highlighting a structured sales system you’ve successfully used and be prepared to walk through it in detail—from territory mapping and prospect research to outbound outreach, meeting generation, pipeline management, and follow-up cadence. The more you can demonstrate a repeatable, process-driven approach to generating results, the stronger your candidacy will be. Additionally, have specific metrics and success stories ready that showcase how your system has translated into meetings, opportunities, and revenue.
