      Business Development Director Interview

      Feb 19, 2013
      Anonymous employee
      Singapore
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (Singapore) in Apr 2009

      Interview

      Following an initial phone interview, I was asked to meet the team in person and prepare for a combination of case study, and general discussion. The first meeting was with two directors and global practice lead via Video Conference. I had prepared for the meeting, however the VC took 15 minutes to work properly and the head of the practice said, ok, I have 15 minutes, here's a situation (real life client situation) - I'm the CIO, tell me how you would tackle this issue, you have 5 mins ..... I think I did ok, but I was prepared for a deep discussion, not a 5 minute elevator pitch ... after he left, I continued a more friendly and in depth discussion with the two directors in the room. I had a second meeting two weeks later - A General discussion with HR and senior country management. After about 15 minutes talking about the objectives of the role, what their growth targets were, I was offered the role. The director also came into the room and started talking about where the key issues they had, some of the clients which I was going to work with - after the meeting we walked around the office and I was introduced to the wider team.

      Question 1

      instead of a highly detailed case, I was given a situation (real and current) and said I had 5 minutes to give my pitch to the CEO/CIO on how I would start to tackle the problem/issue - I wasn't really prepared for that and I fumbled in the first 2-3 minutes... and proceeded to talk for another 5-10 minutes before the practice lead had to leave ...

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (Istanbul) in Oct 2024

      Interview

      2 hr interview + role play. Very result oriented and hard to handle if you don’t know the services even tho they say its not necessary. The expectations are very clear which is you DO have to close the deal on the role play by asking the right questions and getting client to agree on the 2nd meeting

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Gartner (Dallas, TX) in Feb 2019

      Interview

      Wow, intense interview process, but the recruiter was incredibly helpful. I’ve never felt so strongly before that the recruiter was my advocate. I was never in the dark about next steps or what they were looking for. I had four rounds, with two of those including a role play of a sales conversation.
