I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HubSpot (Boston, MA) in Dec 2025
Interview
The interview process at HubSpot was very structured and professional. It started with a recruiter screen where they asked about my background, motivation for sales, and why HubSpot specifically. The recruiter was friendly and transparent about the role, compensation, and expectations.
Next was a role-play and behavioral interview with a sales manager. The role-play focused on cold calling, objection handling, and discovery questions. They cared a lot about how well you ask questions and uncover pain rather than just pitching. The behavioral portion focused heavily on grit, coachability, and past challenges.
The final stage included a panel-style interview and another mock call. Everyone I spoke with was supportive and clearly bought into the company culture. The feedback process was quick and clear.
Overall, the experience felt very organized and fair. HubSpot places a big emphasis on culture fit, curiosity, and learning mindset. If you prepare for cold calls, know their product, and come in with strong discovery skills, you will do well.

Question 1
When were did you lose motivation and how did you get it back?
process was alright, interviewee was impatient and didn't try to see how my current bdr metrics were weighted differently than thier expectations, interviewee was a bid rude and judgy, felt like i couldve had better feedback on the cold call session.

Question 1
how i have i failed and turned that failure into a win
Honestly, one of the most clear interview I had. They provide you with all the instructions and information and it is pretty straight forward. They give you exactly the questions they will ask and are detailed.

Question 1
They asked what you want to work in sales and what specifically drew you to apply to Hubspot?
the interview process was difficult as I got thrown heaps of objections and questions back to back but it is very normal in this industry. I should have prepared better and be ready to just fire out answers
