Reached out to recruiter, no referral. 3 phone calls and invite to on-site. I flew across the country and paid for my own travel and accommodations. 4 person interview including 2 hiring managers in panel. Was professionally informed within 2 days of follow-up they selected another candidate who was better able to articulate their metrics and KPI's. I work for a small start-up with a newer sales team and my numbers and stack ranking are not as developed as a mid-size and large sales organization. I will need to get experience at a major sales organization and have verified KPI's to avoid this fate in the future. I am pleased with my efforts considering I cold called them and got to the decision makers, the very nature of the job I was applying for. Disappointed I did not get hired due to things largely out of my control.

It was long and multi step - took over 2 months before final interview / offer, which included a phone screen, two hour in person interview with 6 people total, and then a follow up final interview / level setting conversation, all before the offer. After my in person interview, they told me they wanted to extend an offer but were unable to do so until they got headcount / a firm start date. From start to finish, it was a 2 month long process from initial phone screen to final offer date.
