Interview
I interviewed for HubSpot (Dublin) in March 2024. The overall process from application to offer took approximately 3 weeks.
The initial stage is a a short Zoom call (approximately 30 minutes) with the recruiter assigned to the position, general questions including were asked within this screening call. The recruiter was extremely friendly and provided me with further details on the position including salary, day-to-day tasks, culture of HubSpot and career progression within this particular position.
Following this was another 30 minute Zoom call with a manager. This was quite similar to the screening call, with similar questions as above. The manager was also very friendly and welcoming, and provided me with feedback on my answers that I could implement if I were to get into the final round of interviews.
Following this was the final round of interviews, which included 3X30 minute zoom calls with the manager I interviewed with previously and two other sales managers. Each manager was very friendly and welcoming again, and showed genuine interest in my answers for each of their questions.
The structure of these interviews and answers you provide were the most important, as the STAR process was expected to be used throughout my answers. The STAR process is extremely important throughout the entire interview process but specifically leaning towards the first manager interview and the 3x30 minute interviews.
For this specific role, I would ensure that you have examples of targets that you have hit in your previous roles, and think of examples that helped you reached those targets. Make sure to include tangible examples, to ensure that the manager has a full understanding of the specific task/goal you are explaining!
Overall my experience interviewing was nothing short of amazing. Any contact I had with the recruiter for the position was happy to help reiterating feedback and clarifying anything I needed prior to any of the rounds of interviews. The recruiter was really there to help me get the position, rather than just see me as another candidate or number on a page, so I felt like a very valued candidate throughout the whole process which was very much appreciated. From this experience, I am excited to say that I have accepted the position and I am looking forward to working with the sales team at HubSpot! :D
I applied through other source. I interviewed at HubSpot (Bogotá, Bogota) in Jul 2023
Interview
Muy buen proceso. Fueron cuatro entrevistas con preguntas situacionales, para entender, con ejemplos concretos, cómo reaccioné frente a ciertos escenarios. Cada entrevista evaluaba core values diferentes. Esto fue hace varios años.

After submitting the application, the first interview was a recorded video interview. It took about 20 minutes, and I had to record myself answering 3 questions. The question would pop up, then I would have to prepare and record my answer within a few minutes.
