Leadbolt interview questions

Two-stage in-person interview process. Reference checks, the standard stuff. I met with my direct manager and the CEO. One thing that helped increase engagement (but was stressful at the time) was that once I accepted the offer, my manager-to-be asked for a 3-month plan for how I would get started in the role and what I would plan to accomplish.

My interview was a 4-step process, and was very organized and pleasant throughout. It started with a phone call from the HR Manager who was very professional. After the initial phone screening, she set up a time for me to speak with the VP of Sales, who also came across as friendly and approachable. Following a successful call, I came to the office to meet with the founder. Following that meeting, I came to the office to meet with additional members of the team, which was a surprise but not overwhelming. Turns out everyone was warm and they even showed a good sense of humor. I found the founder to be easy to talk to. I was surprised by his candor when he asked what I was good at and also what I was not good at, so that he could make sure I was matched well for the role and set up for success. Based on my skill-set, he asked me to design the job that would be right for me, taking into account any weaknesses, preferences and passions. I didn’t mind the “homework”. One doesn’t get an opportunity to design their dream role very often. Overall, it was worth the extended process to get to know the team and talk through every aspect of the role.
