Colloquio
The first time I heard about BrightEdge was at my University's career fair. After speaking to an EBR at the career fair she referred me to a recruiter, Dani Bossler. Dani and I had a phone interview that was basically all about my resume, my past employment and what I was involved in at college. After passing that round my next phone interview was with the Sales Manager in Chicago Theresa Sciole. This phone interview was a little more in depth. Theresa asked me questions like "Why do you want to work in sales?"
After passing that phone interview BrightEdge sent me a mock phone call, mock email campaign, and online test given to me by about SEO. The online exam was very difficult. I did not get any feedback but I assumed that I passed because I moved onto my next phone interview with Michael Camaratta, Senior Director of Sales. After this phone interview there was an in-person meeting scheduled for me to meet the Chicago BrightEdge team. During this interview candidates from different colleges attended and we each individually met with Theresa Sciole, Mike Camaratta, and Tom Stallings (Regional Sales Director). We also got to shadow EBR's in the office.
I was called a week later with the offer to become an EBR in the Chicago office. The full interview process was from September-December 2015. I believe it would have been much shorter if I was not away at school. In my May 2016 I graduated college from Purdue University with a bachelor of science in Sales Management. I am currently going through training at headquarters in San Mateo, CA for the next two weeks. I can't wait to see where my BrightEdge career takes me!

I went through 2 rounds of phone interviews. The first was with a recruiter who responded very quickly after I had applied and was very professional/helpful with tips for the position. The second interviewer wasn't very friendly & had a really uninterested demeanor over the phone. It felt like she had a million other things that she preferred to be doing.
Ultimately, I never heard back from anyone (which I guess fits in with the second interview's result). I found it unprofessional because the second interviewer did specifically mention that someone would at least reach out to confirm what the result was. I worked hard on the interview preparation & truly respected the company, so I just found it in very bad taste to not even provide some closure for a candidate. Not offering a job is fine, but I just think it's a sign of bad character to not even follow up with someone when 1) you said that you would and 2) the candidate really respected the company.

In one sentence, how would you describe the BrightEdge platform?

Colloquio
After applying, a BrightEdge recruiter reached out to me to see if I would be a good fit to recommend to the company. The recruiter then helps you prepare for both your initial phone interview and if all goes well, you must pass an online skills test regarding SEO and organic search. After passing that, they invite you in for an in person interview with a round of managers and VP of sales. You could tell the company really cares about who they hire and are looking for the smartest and most coachable people to join their team. I came into the interview with sales experience but little to no knowledge of SEO.

Tell me about yourself. Why BrightEdge? Why Sales? How would you handle an objection? Describe a time when you were struggling and how you overcame it. A lot of standard interview questions, but also a few challenging ones that really make you think.

initial interview consisted of 3 steps, the first was a phone screen with the recruiter that just asked basic questions like why BE, why sales, etc.... The second was a second more in-depth phone interview with a manager. And third was an in person interview with several employees in different sales roles, such as an Enterprise Business Rep, a Sales Manager, an AE, and VP of Sales. Definitely an eye-opening and insightful interview process - BrightEdge gives you a real account of what to expect in the role, and also what they expect out of someone the the EBR role.
