Fort Myers, FLPosted Oct 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I experienced a multi-round Account Executive interview that balanced behavioral/situational questions with at least one role play; it was challenging mostly because they wanted precise STAR answers and coachability.

Recruiter screening — behavioral and situational questions focused on alignment with their values.
Second recruiter / scenario or deeper behavioral — more motivation and fit questions, with emphasis on how I handle feedback.
Role play (sales pitch / objection handling) — a scenario where I had to practice selling and respond to a small objection in the format they expected.
Panel-style or leadership round — longer conversations that asked about discovery and how I’d execute in a client interaction.
Behavioral closeout — recurring reminders to use STAR and to ask
