Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 8 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Sprout Social (Chicago, IL) em mar. de 2020
Entrevista
I applied online late January 2020. Process took 8 weeks. Hiring manager phone screen on strategy/experience. HR phone screen on compensation/start date etc. Hiring manager phone interview on coaching/leadership experience. An on-site interview/virtual 45 min presentation on topics they chose with another 45 minute panel Q/A with a couple of Directors and a SVP.
I'm a fan on Sprout Social. They really spoke to my core values and I think the company is phenomenal. The process was very transparent and went through unusual timing, due to the corona-virus, certain adjustments needed to be taken and it was done virtual instead of in-person. I made it as far as the 45 minute presentation. They asked me to make a 45 presentation covering the following topics below and another 45 min for Q/A:
1) Background - personal and professional
2) Channel Sales and Leadership Experience
3) Leadership Style - What type of leader are you? What are the standards you have put in place for your teams?
4) Culture building - Define your current team's culture. How would you begin to build that culture at Sprout?
5) Hiring Profile - What/who are you looking to hire to build your team? Please provide a profile for the AEs you would want to hire at Sprout.
6) Coaching - Where/how would you been helping your people to improve? What type of training/tools have you invested in?
7) Why you? Why are you the right person for this role?
Nine days after the interview and after sending a couple of follow-ups, I receive a generic email from the hiring manager that they received a lot of applications and they had to say no. No further feedback. It seems counter their core value of Caring Deeply, to ask prospective hires to spend a lot of time to make a presentation, practice & prepare, block off an afternoon and yet not take the time to give constructive feedback. It's like sending a text to break up with someone. Perhaps, this isn't such a great place to work after all.
Respect should go both ways.

HR screen, 1:1 manager step, panel step, presentation step. I didn't make it to the final presentation step which would have made the process much more difficult. Everything leading up to that step was pretty standard.
