I found the vibe very bizarre and was left with a weird feeling after meeting the recruiter. It’s hard to explain, but basically this was not a conversation or a way to better know the candidate, and find out if we align, but rather a way to qualify/disqualify quickly. That’s such a bad first impression. I was glad it didn’t go further because I was already very disappointed and that first interview was a massive red flag. For example, The job is remote and straight away, even before introducing each other, the recruiter asked where I was based. I mean the info is in my cv, but I thought « ok, rude ». With questions like « on a scale from 0-10 how technical are you », « what do people find difficult working with you », and very quickly a question about « how late I can work ». I mean, we work in sales so obviously we have high pressure and busier periods from time to time. But if you want to know if I will accept to be your slave… the answer is no. Overall the solution seem great, but that interview was so off.

Probably the most bizarre interview I've had in my sales career. The recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn. During the call, he told me that the role was very demanding and that all Aikido employees worked until 10 p.m. every day, including weekends. I told them that they wouldn't find an account executive with years of experience if that was the case, because I believe that success comes from experience and good organisation. The recruiter then told me that I wasn't right for the job. I told him that his employees working at that pace would end up at the doctor's office :D
