Interview
Very easy. I was headhunted by staples talent acquisition. I completed a phone interview, then a week later I came in for an in person with two hiring managers. They had me leave a compelling sales voicemail and send an email about why I was the best fit candidate. It was a week later when I got my offer. Great experience!

Interview
Applied online. I had 2 brief phone interviews with a recruiter. Not sure if I needed 2 or if the 1st got cut short and needed to finish a few last questions because the second was short. Followed by an interview with the Sales Manager and finally the Sales Director. Easy going and friendly convo.
