As a May 2018 college graduate, I spent much of my last semester in school looking for post-grad opportunities. I had various interviews for a number of different role types and companies, and no interview process was as efficient, enjoyable, or transparent as that of Criteo. Within two days of sending in my resume through a fellow classmate of mine in the AAE role, I received an invitation for a phone screening with a recruiter, and by the end of the day that we spoke, I was invited for another round of phone interviews with two sales managers. These conversations were mainly behavioral based, and geared towards learning more about my interest in sales. I was contacted by the recruiter shortly after my second phone interview explaining the final round (a sales pitch), and provided with resources to prepare. They like to give the candidates a week in advance to prepare, because the final pitch is quite extensive. However, my recruiter worked with me throughout the week answering all of my questions and giving me feedback on my presentation, etc. When I went into the office the next week, everyone from the receptionist, to the employee giving me a tour, to the sales managers I presented to were beyond welcoming, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire process. After my presentation, I spoke candidly with the managers about the culture at Criteo, concerns I had, and my performance on the pitch. On my trip home that day, I received a phone call offering me the position. While there were many factors that contributed to my decision to start my career with Criteo, I was so impressed by the people and the interview process that the choice was easy. They were also fully understanding of the process for me to move to another state to start work, and were flexible on the start date. I am incredibly excited to start my career at Criteo next week, and can't think of any way they could improve the interview process.
