I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FREIGHTQUOTE (Saint Anthony, MN) in Dec 2011
Interview
The hiring process was on par with other large companies I have worked with.
I came highly qualified for the position and was referred by an existing employee so the interview was very relaxed and candid.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical of most interviews although they do give you a sales test to see what your dominate selling technique is which was very interesting and surprisingly accurate.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at FREIGHTQUOTE
Interview
Simple and elementary. Sales manager meets in an interview room. Doesn't matter what you say, then off to the sales floor where they sit you with someone they don't like and is new to experience the sales process.

Question 1
Have you any experience in logistics?
Do you like competition?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at FREIGHTQUOTE (Lenexa, KS) in Nov 2010
Interview
It was an on site career fair. I walked in told them I was there for a sales position. Waited in line and they took us into these little curtained boxes. It was very fast paced and they didn't even look at my resume until I started referencing to it. They asked to describe my work ethic, how I overcome objections, and how I gained clients in my previous position. I thought we were done, and the HR rep asked if I had a few minutes to meet with a sales director. We went into another booth and he didn't look at my resume at all just talked really disinterested and kept telling me it was a "good job". It was frustrating because I was also trying to interview him. I wanted to learn more about their processes to see if I would be a good fit. He just kept saying "we will get into that later". The next day they called and said they wanted to make an offer after my background check, called 3 days later saying the background check wasn't done. They called today to see if I had any questions. I missed the call unfortunately but it's funny they even asked me to pick a start date, but I still don't have an offer.
