I applied online. I interviewed at Sailthru (London, England) in May 2022
Interview
5 stages of interview Fairly good Managers are good , not much of technical questions . It's more to communication skills and the way you conduct yourself. You'll meet the whole team if you're hired.
Standard CSM interview process. Recruiter screening, two 30 minute interviews, a writing assessment and a presentation. I left with a good feeling about Sailthru and the team - Abby, the recruiter, was very responsive which was a breath of fresh air.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sailthru in June 2020
