THE PROCESS

Long interview processes are stressful and boring, and that is not us 😉

We want to make sure that everything runs smoothly.

So here you will have three stage interviews:

1- A chat with one of our great recruiters.2- A zoom or in person chat with two of our Sales colleagues where they will ask you detailed questions about your knowledge and your experience.3- A Final Chat with our CCO (either in our office or via Zoom). ​​During this interview, further questions will be asked. We will also ask you to prepare a (very) short exercise. The goal will be to understand your PowerPoint and presentation skills. 

But don’t worry; everything will be explained to you step by step by your recruiter. 

Here is a little tip for you during those stages: 

Collaboration is extremely important to us, so don't hesitate to share your thoughts, ask questions, ask for help if needed, etc at any stages!
