Chicago, ILPosted Jun 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview process was short and direct, and it felt almost checklist-like.

I had two interviews: a recruiter call over Zoom for about half an hour, then a second conversation with a sales manager that lasted about an hour. Scheduling took about a week, which was the only part that genuinely annoyed me, but once the calls started, the questions came one after another.

The recruiter screen was mostly about whether my background and availability fit, and the sales manager focused on fit and core competence for the role. It didn’t feel like there were creative or memorable moments—just a rapid sequence of questions with little added context.

I didn’t get an offer.
