I applied through other source. I interviewed at Altery (London, England) in Apr 2026
Interview
The interview process included an HR screening, a video interview with the Global Head of Sales and a take-home sales assessment.
The role was presented as a highly autonomous hunter position with a strong focus on outbound prospecting, cold outreach and self-generated pipeline. During the interview, significant emphasis was placed on activity volume, ownership and the expectation that new hires should become productive very quickly.
Candidates should be prepared for a direct and challenging interview style. The discussion focused heavily on personal accountability, resilience, work ethic and the ability to operate independently with limited support.
The take-home assignment was detailed and required preparation of outreach sequences, target account research, prospecting strategy and objection handling examples.
While the process provided a clear picture of the company's expectations, I ultimately decided not to continue because I was looking for a different management style and sales environment.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
What would your expectations be for a new sales executive during the first three months?
I completed two interview rounds for a Risk & Monitoring role. The interviews were relevant and the conversations with the team were fine.
After the second interview, communication stopped completely. I followed up but never received any update or outcome.
Overall, the process lacked basic professionalism and proper candidate communication. Not responding after multiple interview stages is unacceptable, and I would not recommend this hiring process.

Interview
I had a really positive interview experience with Altery. I applied during the Christmas holiday period and was contacted by HR a couple of weeks later.
The initial HR conversation was refreshingly direct and efficient: no fluff, which I genuinely appreciate.
A few days later, I met with the Hiring Manager, who was personable, highly professional, and created a relaxed discussion that made it easy to have a real chat about the role and my experience.
While I ultimately wasn’t selected, the process was handled professionally and the feedback was clear and respectful which is always appreciated in today’s hiring landscape.
Altery seems like a great place to work, and credit where it’s due: they communicate well and don’t leave candidates guessing or ghost them 🙂
