The first step was a request to take a battery of online tests. I completed tests that included a personality assessment, IT sales, IT management, a logic test and an "advanced IQ" test. The latter two consisted of math and word problems of varying difficulty. I can understand how these tests might have relevance for a software developer or other technical roles, but I think any correlation to sales is dubious at best. In any event, I completed the tests, and was invited to move to the next step. The next step was a very brief, (and strange) phone interview with an internal recruiter. After a brief pitch about the company, I was asked if I remembered what position I applied for. What an odd question. I was also told that I did very well with the online tests. Then, she told me that she wanted to ask a few logic and common sense questions, and I should get a pen and paper. Yes, this really happened. After I had already completed 90 minutes of tests online. For me, trying to solve a math problem while someone is waiting for an answer on the phone, is not exactly the ideal environment for taking a test. Not to mention, I didn't appreciate the ambush. There is just something sneaky and offensive about this interview tactic., and it made me wonder about what kind of people I was dealing with. I really should have ended the call right there. I know I didn't do as well under these conditions as I did with the online assessments, when I was in a state of mind prepared for a test. After some logic problems we moved on to the "common sense" questions. One of which was: Which 4 countries have the most Linkedin members? I knew the answer, but at that point, I was wondering if THEY have any common sense, and was questioning my own common sense for subjecting myself to this nonsense and jumping through hoops for these people. After the common sense quiz, I was given about 5 minutes to ask any questions I might have, and then the call ended. She didn't ask a single question about my sales experience, or how I approach selling, etc. At the end of the call, the recruiter seemed very positive about me moving to the next step, which is an interview with a hiring manager (finally). At that point I was thinking I would finally have the opportunity to discuss my experience and skill set with a member of the sales organization, and maybe the time I had invested in this process might have been worthwhile after all. However, the next contact I received was a template rejection email. I suppose I didn't pass the impromtu logic test over the phone. If you're going to apply for a sales position with BairesDev, be aware that before getting a chance to talk to anyone, you'll have to spend about 90 minutes taking assessments, and over 50 minutes of this time will be spent on 2 tests consisting of math and word problems. And you may be required to solve more logic problems if you are approved for a phone interview. For whatever reason, BairesDev seems to place a high value on logic tests in evaluating candidates for sales positions. It's possible that you'll be eliminated before you have the opportunity to discuss your experience and skills that are relevant to the position. The early phase is a one-sided process where you're expected to invest time upfront with little reciprocity from their end. It's a one way street. I regret that i participated in this process, but I think I learned my lesson and will try to be more selective in how (and with whom) I invest my time in the future.
