      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Samsara in Mar 2024

      Interview

      Lead up with recruiter was excellent. The functional interview was terrible. I don't know if this was this individuals first time but it seemed like they conflated being difficult and obtuse in their answers and requests as a realistic representation of the first phone call. If this scenarios happened in real life I would have quickly moved on to the next prospect. None of the objections were really objections, just seemed the goal was to be difficult. I made references to their technology (several days of research) and how it could help the customer and was still told I need to "build" value. Generally, you have to really learn the product to "build" value. I like how they tout collaborative selling but when asked in the interview to assist with what they were asking: Stone faces. I was also recommended to ask to schedule an apt at the end of each mock call in the prep doc but then was scolded by the "client" that more than likely this would be a dud appointment. Its a practice call, what a nonce. Received an email that there a lot of applicants and would not be moving on. Also be warned: I was informed this org is moving towards RTO.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Samsara (Calgary, AB) in May 2024

      Interview

      I applied for the position and, to my surprise, received a call for an interview within six hours. It was interesting to learn that they outsource their "Sales Recruiting Sourcer" from Mexico City, which I found impressive. During the interview, the interviewer was very polite and respectful. She asked about my current role and salary expectations. It's worth noting that they place significant importance on outbound calling experience, so be prepared to discuss that. The reviews I read beforehand were quite varied, as each "Sales Recruiting Sourcer" seemed to have different approaches and questions. This made it difficult to anticipate what would be asked during the interview. Towards the end of the call, the interviewer explained the hiring process in detail, making me feel like I was already part of the team. There are approximately 3-4 stages in the interview process, with the final one being with the Director. Overall, the experience wasn't bad, and I honestly hope I get the job because I understand their product very well and have a point to prove. However, I wish they had clearer intentions toward candidates to avoid giving false hope.
