I applied to a role at Verkada and was contacted by one of their sales specific recruiters to set up a pre-screen call. Verkada looks to be a great opportunity but their recruiting process leaves a bit to be desired. The recruiter I spoke with seemed to be very junior and at times bordered on the unprofessional. At one point the recruiter mentioned another Account Executive from my former company was interviewing with them as well, and being as I was with a smaller organization, it was not hard to figure out specifically who that was. I would not want that information disclosed about me to a co-worker. The recruiter did not know much about the role itself, and admitted as much, but also did not seem to be experienced in interviewing higher level sales professionals. Much of the information she gave to me about the role was company hype and very general, the recruiter was unable to answer even some basic questions I had about the role. I also felt her questions of me did not help her understand my value as a salesperson and are a big part of the reason I felt she was inexperienced in sales recruiting. Even her basic qualifying questions missed the mark a bit. The recruiter was very pleasant though as a person. Ultimately they chose not to move me forward in the process after the initial phone screen. Up until this point I would have listed my interview experience as more neutral than negative. However, when asked for any feedback they could provide on their reasoning for not moving forward I was told it was company policy not to elaborate. Because of this and earlier borderline unprofessional behavior I would list my overall experience with Verkada as negative.
