Went through two interviews. One with direct report and then a three person panel interview. Standard procedure, all on video chat. First interview was great with the person you’d be working with. Second interview was very pretentious and glorified the company. Didn’t get a good vibe from the team and ghosted by the recruiters. A simple no thanks would’ve been good.

At first, Sam seemed a bit reserved or nervous, but once we started the interview, he revealed himself to be an articulate, well-read professional. Throughout our meeting he showed an expert knowledge of sales and market research, as demonstrated by his previous roles. He's also completed extensive research on pricing models and provided me with in-depth examples of when a business should use one over the other. Overall, I think Sam is an excellent candidate for the role of pricing analyst. He's experienced, he's passionate and he's a problem-solver. I believe he could provide valuable insights into our competitive pricing decisions. I suggest we schedule Sam for a panel interview and start discussing salary expectations.
