I went through a total of five interviews — two with recruiters, two with the hiring manager, and one with the Chief Sales Officer. The process initially felt very promising; each conversation went well, and communication was consistent early on. However, things took an odd turn when I was asked to provide a detailed list of past accounts I’d sold to and companies I had relationships with. That struck me as unusual and unnecessary, especially so early in the process. It began to feel like they were more interested in potential leads than in understanding my skills or approach as a sales professional. After my final interview, I was told to expect an offer soon. Then, communication completely stopped. I followed up multiple times with both the recruiter and the hiring manager by email and phone, but received no response for roughly two weeks. Only after I reached out directly to the CSO — who was professional enough to respond — did I receive an apology and confirmation that they had moved forward with other candidates.
