1. Recruiter phone call (45min) 2. Sales Manager Zoom Call (30min) 3. Sales Director Zoom Call (30min) 4. Misalignment lead to pulling out of the process Conversation with recruiter went well, he was great. 1st line leadership seemed strong. 2nd line leadership did not provide a response to the typical 'is there anything that came up on today's call that would prevent you from moving forward with my candidacy?' question. This lead to unclear next steps and what felt like ambiguity in the hiring process. A confusing experience towards the end. Tips for improvement: If they are on the job market, high performing sales reps are often interviewing with multiple companies at once. Not providing candidates with a clear understanding of where they stand in the hiring process may lead to your competition closing an offer before you, resulting in a lost opportunity to hire top talent. To avoid this, be candid and clear with the talent you are interviewing on where they stand in the process.
