Atlanta, GAPosted Nov 2016 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a mid-length, fairly standard sales interview flow that emphasized situational stories and fit, with a mix of panels and in-person time.

Recruiter call / initial contact — I had an early conversation with a recruiter (sometimes after an email/voicemail) to review my background and the role; in one case I was even sent prep materials to return within a day.
Manager panel or recruiter + employee conversations (phone/in-person) — I interviewed with managers (often two together) and/or current employees, covering why I was qualified and how I’d bring value.
STAR/situational questions — Across rounds, I answered “tell me about a time” questions and structured examples of sales steps.
**Scheduling + facility/team
