Following my online application, I was quickly offered a phone screen with one of HubSpot's recruiters, Tania. This lasted approximately 20 minutes, at the end of which she confirmed that she would be happy to pass me on for a further phone interview with one of their Channel Consultant Managers. This second interview (one week later) consisted of a more in-depth 30 min. conversation about my qualifications and relevant experience, including a couple of STAR-formatted questions. We then carried out 2x 15 min. role play exercises where I had to demonstrate reaching out and engaging with existing HubSpot customers. Roleplays are always a slightly awkward experience, but I also received some great feedback during this stage. A few days later I was finally invited in to HubSpot's Dublin office (the following week) for a round of face-to-face interviews. This involved meeting with 4 different staff members from the Channel Consultant team in back-to-back 30 minute sessions, where I was again interviewed using the STAR technique. Despite being an intense 2-hour experience, the interviewers all maintained a great enthusiasm and managed the whole process with transparency. I felt positive coming out of this third stage interview, but unfortunately in this instance I was contacted the following day with news that HubSpot would not be proceeding any further with my application. I would advise candidates to prepare well for the STAR interview technique, and to complete at least the basic online certificates through HubSpot Academy.
