The recruiter showed up 5+ minutes late. Which seems to be a common theme. She then proceeded to go through a standard list of questions ending with “Your background doesn’t align with our role”. This is a mystery to me because YOU scheduled the call after receiving MY resume. I was then told I would be flagged for future opportunities… I’ll flag Toast as a place not to interview as their recruiters don’t know how to prepare for meetings nor know how to show up to meetings on time.

I felt very comfortable throughout the interview process. Pretty standard structure (recruiter screening, hiring manager phone calls, case study exercise) I made it to the case study where I was given example reps data and asked how I would use that data to manage the team. I did not get an offer. The best part was that I got specific feedback on why I did not get the offer and I was able to use that feedback in interviews with other companies. I was highly impressed by this. Not only did it help me immensely but I felt as if my time was respected and I was valued as an interview candidate. Also because of this, I am completely open to interviewing with Toast again in the future should a better fitting opportunity arise.

After submitting my resume, an interview was scheduled. We had a 30 minute question and answer call. The interviewer asked the usual questions about my past experience, knowledge of the company and salesmanship.
