I was approached by a recruiter on LinkedIn. Spoke on the phone with him first and he put me forward for an interview.
Had my first interview with the Sales Director. Was initially going for a Senior Business Development Manager role, however with my limited cold calling experience, I was asked to wait a month as they were hiring regular BDMs later. I agreed with the decision and waited a month before I reached out again and was invited to the second stage in-person interview immediately.
The second stage was with the SD and Head of Sales. Both very good interviewers that made me feel at ease. They did of course challenge a few things I said, but that can be expected at any interview.
I was invited to the final stage interview with the Managing Director which was a short 30 minute Teams call. I felt less confident after that last stage interview, but ended up getting an offer.
The offer was at a slightly lower base salary than the recruiter said initially, but I decided to accept the offer as I liked everything I had learned about the company during the interview process.
I have now worked at Contracts Advance for a few months, and it has definitely been the right step for me in my career,
