I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at ZoomInfo
Interview
Very selective 3 step interview process that includes an initial call with a sales recruiter, who will determine if it makes sense to set up a Zoom interview with a manager or director, and if that goes well, they’ll schedule you for a “mock pitch” where your skills will be put to the test. Throughout the process, I had the pleasure of working with Heather Campbell, who was by far the most thorough, communicative, and helpful sales recruiter I’ve ever worked with. She went above and beyond in preparing me for each step of the process, setting clear and proper expectations, and was very quick to communicate feedback or next steps. She also went the extra mile for me by placing me with another team that was a better fit for me after it was clear the initial team I had interviewed with wouldn’t work.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The most important interview is the last one where they give you a slide deck and have you do a “mock pitch.” They are looking for you to prove that you can conduct thorough discovery, connect a potential clients problems/goals to our solution, close on next steps, and also that you took the assignment seriously and prepared, rehearsed, etc.

Interview
Check out the team on ZoomInfo, and you might get an idea of whether you'll be selected or not. My first-round interview with HR was a bit off, the recruiter came across as rude and rushed through the conversation. I didn’t hear back for 2 weeks until her colleague reached out to schedule the next round with two managers.
Honestly, it was the worst interview experience I’ve ever had. Both managers seemed uninterested the moment they joined, one even showed up 10 minutes late without saying anything. Felt like they just wanted to get it done with, which made me feel very uncomfortable right from the start. Understand that work can be hectic, but I would’ve appreciated transparency or a rescheduled call rather than feeling like I was intruding on their time.
Great company with excellent products, can definitely see why companies buy them, but the whole interview left such a bad impression.

I applied online.
I was contacted by the recruiter
The recruiter only wanted to hear what she was aiming for.
When talking about my skills and motivation, it seemed like she did not care and was even annoyed by it.
Do not reccomend

Question 1
Tell me about your last job and your previous job.
Multiple meetings with people up and down the org. Was turned away at some point with no feedback as to why. Maybe they get a lot of applicants, but they continue to fire lots of AE's every year. They also keep bringing in people with no software experience which is interesting.
