I was messaged by a recruiter on linkedin and had a phone call with her, and then was set up with a first round interview with one of the sales managers for the office I applied for. In this interview I found the questions asked to be very strangely worded for it to be a sales job.

Application
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Insight Global
Interview
I was contacted initially by phone and email by a corporate recruiter who explained to me they thought I was a good fit for the position. Had a casual 15 minute phone interview and was asked to come in for a sit down interview with some account managers and the sales manager. Was interviewed separately by all 3 for about 20-25 minutes each. What I found strange was after the first interview with the account manager, she spoke with the recruiter who then immediately came in and gave me feedback on the previous interview. I was then interviewed by another account manager, and finally a short discussion with the sales manager. Everything was very laid back and none of the questions were out of the ordinary, but I felt they wanted the ideal candidate to be bubbly like a sorority girl with fake smiles and what not.
Overall a fairly pleasant process, but the professionalism of some of the office was not what you would see in other businesses/industries.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What sets you apart from other candidates being interviewed?
The interview process was long, it consisted of a lot of phone calls with the recruiter prepping you for the interviews. The in person interview felt very calculated and fake. Although I’m sure the managers meant well you could tell they were very judgmental. I’ve also heard awful things about this company so I think it was a blessing. Good luck though!
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Insight Global (Austin, TX) in May 2025
Interview
Began with a 15 minute warmer call with a recruiter to then schedule a 45 minute call with the recruiter, then either an in-person or online interview with hiring manager, and then last interview with manager.
