I was very excited to hear from the recruiter nearly 10 days after my application was submitted. Hubspot has been (and still is!) my dream company! Unfortunately, the initial phone interview began nearly 15 minutes late (of a 30-minute screening) due to a busy schedule on the recruiter's side - they were based in Dublin, I was based in the US/East Coast. I felt rushed through introductory questions and was not sure if I was being properly listened to as I provided previous experience and how it related to the current role; it quickly ended by me being asked for a salary range 2-3 times without knowing details on the day-to-day responsibilities of the role. One week later I received a generic email informing me I won't be moving onto next steps. The only feedback was that a more qualified candidates were more qualified. I'll certainly keep my eyes open more opportunities matching my profile/interests, and hope that future phone screenings give applicants a fair and full process to properly promote - and upsell - their skill set/cultural additions they could bring to the Hubspot team. Suggestion: Recruiters should simply reschedule an interview if they're going to be late; busy schedules are understandable, but not when it's beyond a 5 minute delay. As an applicant, we feel the sense of rush/urgency, and therefore, enter a different mindset when answering questions to be more precise, unable to give full context or supporting evidence to the potential value we could bring to the team.
