While speaking to the recruiter, I was told they were looking for a unicorn but didn't have the salary to match.
Also have a lengthy interview process that would self eliminate anyone who was a potential match.
The job title was listed as "Salesforce Administrator" but the recruiter reached out with a "GTM lead" title.
The reasoning - to cast a wider net?!
The salary band was not listed but later shared as $160k - $180k, with the expectation that the new hire would roll out a new salesforce implementation, migration from current CRM, CPQ implementation,
admin work, user training, understanding of marketing tools,
understanding/implementation of Apex ,TBD on other tools, all as an individual contributor.
The pay band is just not competitive enough for top talent.
The interview process with 7 rounds was very telling. It is a red flag and a key indicator that a company does not know what they're looking for, and that's exactly what I told the recruiter.
Max # should be 5 and if the key stakeholders can't assign their calendars to get on a panel interview, then they don't have the skills to collaborate and communicate effectively.
