I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at RTM Business Group (New York, NY) in Dec 2024
Interview
It was a 3 step process essentially but RTM made it significantly easy! I had my brief phone introductory call with a team member who asked me what I was looking for, and explained more about the company itself. I remember getting off that call so excited to learn more and eager to have the formal interview. Next I had a Zoom interview with a manager and director who asked about my previous work experience and I shared how it aligned with the open role. My final Zoom interview happened with another director about a week later with the official offer coming through shortly after.
Interview
The interview process was multiple one on one interviews with different members of the team. The final interview was with the VP and Founder. It was straightforward, and standard, and it was good to meet many different people from different parts of the company to truly understand the culture.
I had applied and was contacted by a recruiter. The recruiter was really a nice guy but when he described this job, I wasn't interested at all. This job position is basically a Bait and Switch sales job. You do "marketing research" and try to contact various executives throughout any industry to come to these events that RTM Business Group holds. You have to get these executives to come agree to be invited to a Zoom call before you give them your sales pitch. It's a virtual cold calling position. They had advertised the salary as $60,000 but of course, that is if you make any sales so you'll be really starting out at $40,000. The recruiter went further on about how I will go through training to be able to speak to executives and know how to convince them. I was rolling my eyes the entire time. These companies are really dressing up these sales positions nowadays by calling them these elaborate names and not being very detailed about the job in the job postings.
