I am still in the process of this - I am reporting on the first step and will share what I learn next. Bloomspot used a company called Readyforce to do the initial interview. I had to apply through Readyforce and answer questions to determine your compatibility where it wasn't 100% sure what the "right" responses were, but for the most part it was fairly easy to decipher what they wanted. I.e. rating how much you like change/not having a routine etc. Apparently my resume/answers meant I was a good enough fit. The next step was a video interview with a Readyforce worker. At the end I remember being asked to pretend I was talking to the founder and having to "sell myself." The interview was super preliminary - they asked me if I had reliable transportation, why I wanted to work for Bloomspot, fairly standard questions. The one weird part was when the interviewer picked out a past position of mine (that was the least sales-y and similar to bloomspot) and said your work at xx seems the most relevant to the position, no? This made me think the Readyforce interviewers aren't very serious/seem to be winging it. The whole thing lasted 10-15 minutes.

"Pretend I am the founder of bloomspot, tell me why I should hire you (or maybe it was why you would be a great addition to the team)
I can't remember the exact way the questions was phrased, but they want to hear about your past sales experience and if you were ranked against other employees.

Entire process took about 2.5 weeks from beginning to end. They used an outsourced hiring company where you have to go through a Skype screening interview with the hiring company. If they like you, they send the video to Bloomspot and schedule 1 face-to-face interview. You meet with about 4 people (Recruiter, 2 Managers, and the VP of Sales). The interview questions are STAR format and behavioral questions.

I applied online for the position. They contacted me to set up an interview in their offices in downtown San Francisco. It was a video interview, so I was nervous about it more than a phone interview. The lady who interviewed me was very professional. She asked me several questions about my sales techniques.

I sat with and account exec. and a sales manager. The questions were mba type questions to see how I would approach a problem. Nothing to complicated. The people seem really nice and laid back.
I accepted the job and was notified 1 week before my start date that all of the job offers had been rescinded because the company was "changing directions". I had my doubts that maybe the company was teetering a bit figured I would chance it. Reneging on job offers 1 week before a start dates is completely unacceptable. Most jobs wont take a person back. Overall this dealing was incredibly stressful and up to now A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME.
