Hubspot Inbound Marketing Consultant Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – A overall good interview process, I was contacted after applying online and without having any inside connections which was nice to experience. A company like HubSpot is very competitive and sometimes it's all who and not what you know. The interview process was detailed and very systematic with a clear set plan. The "host" of the interviews always asked how I liked the place, where my interest stands, how I think I performed, etc. and then informed me of the next steps.

The steps were a phone screen, then in-person interview followed by 2 roles plays on the phone and an online aptitude test (much like SATs) and the last step was a final in-person interview with the people I would be reporting to directly. Each level I got the impression that they were weeding people out and by the time I had my second in-person interview I must have been 1 of 10 people left. It is at this step that they give you a tour of their office which is busting at the seams but only because they are growing so rapidly.

I think the most challenging part of the interviews on difficulty scale was the role plays, you do have to do your homework before, have an understanding of what you are talking about going in and you are speaking with someone that does these everyday (so he's good). On top of all that they record the session for everyone else that wants to hear it at the company can, adding pressure.

Interview Details – Had a half hour phone call talking about why I thought I was suitable for the position. Asked a few questions about where the role fitted in the organisation. Was it a pre or post customer signup positon etc. Had a chat about my own experience and how it would fit into the role. Was put through to the next round and took online aptitude test. This took about an hour. Had a second phone interview with recorded scenario and was put through for face to face interview. The whole process was easy going and probably on of the most enjoyable interview processes I've been through.

Interview Details – Interviewed with HR via phone, asked about prior experience and what I knew about SEO and inbound marketing. Went smoothly overall as I expressed ability to articulate concepts that would be relevant for job. Went in and interviewed with two people from group I'd be joining, and although it went well I did not get an offer

Interview Details – Consisted of a phone screen from HR, a half hour phone interview with the hiring manager, a role play of a consultant - client phone conversation, and an in-person interview with a bunch of members of the team. Takes a looong time to get to each next stage and is very competitive. I was told they got over 100 applications per day for the role.

Interview Details – I was referred to this company by a colleague and I felt that the interviewers did not know why exactly they were interviewing me and they just did it as a favor. They made references to the fact that my resume is not like the typical candidates that they interview, and is more of the "old school" type of candidate they would have selected in the past. I didn't feel that I was just being asked questions about my experiences, work ethic, and personality, but that I was also being quizzed on marketing principles despite clearly having no marketing background. One of the interviewers scoffed that I could not write code (I wasn't going for an engineering or web developer position) and also questioned the fact that I was unemployed and even suggested that I was not laid off, which I felt was degrading.

A lot of very smart people work at this company, but some of them come across as snooty and that they are looking down on people who do not know everything that they know. I asked how they would train a new employee coming in who had the right background but not all of the knowledge about the industry, and they stated that the right candidate "lives and breaths" in that industry and already knows everything they need to know to work there.

I also got mixed information - one interviewer told me that the consultants are given free reign to run their projects as they wish, and the other told me the opposite and that they are extremely structured.

Interview Details – Applied through site then made further contact via social media. I was then called by & briefly asked about my backround & interest w/ company. Soon after the call I was emailed and asked when I could come in for an interview. I have been offered a second interview & I am waiting for them to schedule.

Interview Details – The interview process was challenging, but very pleasant. I had four stages: (1) a phone interview with an HR rep, (2) a "homework" assignment I presented over GoToMeeting/phone to the hiring manager, (3) an in-person interview with five employees including the VP of my department, and finally (4) an in-person interview with the CEO. The entire process went very smoothly. The HR rep was extremely responsive and friendly, and I NEVER felt at any point like I was kept hanging (which I've definitely experienced interviewing at other companies in the past). All the HubSpot employees I interviewed with made me feel very comfortable, like we were having a conversation rather than a formal interview. There were some tricky questions, but I was very prepared because of my background and because I did a TON of research about the company and inbound marketing beforehand. I also asked a lot of questions, since I wanted to make sure the company was a good fit for me too! Within a month of sending in my resume, I had an offer, and I'm extremely happy so far at HubSpot!

Interview Details – Spoke with recruiter about background/salary. Then met with 4 individuals. The first interview was a behavioral one...general talk about background and interests. The next two were very skills-based. All questions about SEO, blogging, and social media. The best prep is to take the Inbound Marketing Professional Certification quiz.

Interview Details – Two phone interviews, a test and 3 face to face interviews. (all of this over the course of one week)

It felt slightly 'cult like'. Having a social life out of the company is a 'no no'. Everyone seemed to have similar tone of voice, glance and personality.
