The recruiter (Steve Windsor) reached out to me via LinkedIn to see if I had an interest in the role. He did a great job of explaining the role and company and answered all my questions. After I met with the recruiter, I met with hiring manager, and then two other additional team members. The entire process took about 2 weeks. Steve is one the best recruiters I've ever worked with during any job search. He was extremely responsive and went the extra mile to really understand my background and experience to ensure it would be a good alignment for the appropriate pay range. He even worked during his PTO to ensure the offer letter got put through quickly and there was no lag time.
Additionally, the hiring manager (Mark Tefakis), took a lot of time during our first meeting to dive deep into the role and what would be needed to be a successful match. He also talked about his experience and why he joined Anaplan. At the end of our 45 min conversation, he asked if I still thought I would be a good fit giving what I had learned. I said Yes, and he then set up a round two so I could come back with deeper details on how my experience would align to the job role and what I would do in the role based on the 5 pillars on focus. The way Mark conducted the interview was one of the best experiences in my career. Instead of just jumping in and rapid-firing typical interview questions and me, he explained the role in detail and then we had a follow up deeper experience conversation. He wanted to make sure I felt good about Anaplan as a company and the role, instead of just seeing if I could answer a set of typical interview questions. The way this interview was conducted was very comprehensive and efficient to ensure it was a win-win for both parties. Thank you!
