I applied directly by sending an email to the address I found on the website and the Managing Director himself replied to me within 24 hours. I was invited to have a quick phone call (around 15 minutes) with the Managing Director who introduced the company and what they do. Next was a video-call interview with the Managing Director for about one hour and a half where I was asked about my sales experience at my previous company. For the second interview I was invited to the office and had the chance to speak with both the Managing Director and the Senior Recruiting Director. Then I was asked to do the role-play telephone calls in order to see how I sound on the phone but mostly to give me a clear idea of the challenges I would encounter when dealing with both candidates and clients. Then the Managing Director showed me the office and I had the chance to meet the other employees. I noticed that the atmosphere was great and I remember I thought it would be great to join the company. For the third and final interview I took a motivators test with the Managing Director and the Senior Recruiting Director, then we compared my results with the other members of CSJ. It was really interesting to see how I would fit the company culture and other people's mindsets.
