I recommend taking a thoughtful approach when considering opportunities with this organization. The interview process is quite lengthy and could benefit from streamlining. It includes seven interviews spread across a month and a half, starting with the recruiter and progressing through several stages, including the hiring manager, regional leader, a case study with minimal guidance, and meetings with various team members and leadership. While it's important to thoroughly assess candidates, the process could be more focused on understanding the candidate’s qualifications and experiences, rather than diving too deeply into pipeline specifics or conducting role plays that may not align with the role being applied for. **Suggestions for Improvement:** 1. **Focus on Candidate Fit:** Balance the process by delving into the candidate’s previous experiences, strategic thinking, and alignment with the role’s requirements, rather than focusing primarily on pipeline details or role plays that may not be directly relevant to the job. 2. **Structured Evaluation Framework:** Establish a clear, consistent framework for evaluating candidates that highlights key competencies such as problem-solving, teamwork, and strategic thinking. This would help make the process more efficient and objective. 3. **Encourage Open Dialogue:** A more conversational approach would help candidates feel at ease and encourage a genuine exchange, allowing for a better understanding of their potential. 4. **Streamline Decision-Making:** Clear communication of next steps and timely feedback would reflect strong leadership and ensure candidates understand where they stand in the process. 5. **Solicit Feedback from Candidates:** Consider gathering feedback from candidates at the end of the process to gain insights and refine the approach for future interviews.

1. Recruiter screen 2. new ENT Sales Manager zoom call 3. outgoing ENT Sales VP zoom call 4. VP Global Sales zoom call 5. Case Study panel 6. HR rep zoom. I made it through the final interview round (HR call) and the full interview process took 2.5 months - there were a couple reschedules because the cooridinator and recruiter didn't know the Sales Managers schedules. I had a 9pm my time interview get rescheduled 50min before it was supposed to happen. That call then went over the allotted time and I was asked to pitch the VP of Global Sales as an Apple sales rep and he was a Dir of IT at United Airlines - I was not told this would be part of this interview. The recruiter was not helpful in prepping me for each round. I was given no feedback as to why I was turned down for the role.
