What is the hiring process like at GitHub?

  1. Account Executive 1

    GitHub's hiring process for the Senior Account Executive role is comprehensive and structured, typically spanning approximately four weeks to reach the final round. The process consists of several stages: Initial Screening: A 30-minute pre-screen interview with an HR recruiter. Manager Interview: A 45-minute discussion with the hiring manager. Technical Assessment: A 30-40 minute interview with the Technical Sales team leader. Final Panel: A one-hour panel discussion, which includes: A 45-minute presentation covering the Sales and Territory plan and 15mins Q&A session with VP of Sales A detailed 30-60-90 day plan Despite progressing through this rigorous selection process, I was ultimately not chosen for the position.

    I believe that GitHub looks for talented people with a big heart. I’ve seen people from FAANG companies with impressive resumes interviewing and the positions being filled by individuals who are both talented and do volunteer work in their free time, have social projects, etc. You'll go through 7-9 rounds of interviews with more than 10 people and you need to make the difference. They will check all your references, so don’t ever lie about the roles you had, even if they are unrelated to the position. There’s a lot of questions about past experiences at work and team work! so note them down and smile!

I’d way rather take a quick no right out of the gate than spend months babysitting a pipeline full of maybes that are never going to close. Are you glad when they just cut to the chas or do you try to save the deal?

I have sat in forecast calls where everyone on the team was performing total confidence theater and the number we called had almost no relationship to what was actually in the pipeline, and I never quite understood who that exercise was actually for. How does your company run forecasting and does it feel like a tool that actually helps you sell or mostly just something that exists for leadership comfort?

A few years into my career I realized I had gotten so specialized in one category that I had quietly made myself harder to recruit, and by the time I noticed it the résumé already told a pretty narrow story. How intentional are you about keeping your skills and experience marketable outside of your current company and industry?

Even when my pipeline looks strong, I still get this wave of anxiety at the beginning of every month. Does anyone else feel like they're only as good as their last closed deal, no matter how many wins came before? Does this feeling ever go away, or is this just part of the job?
