What did the interview consist of?
1 on 1 Interview
Background Check
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
There are typically two or three interviews. This is a very easy firm to get an offer from. The first is with Lynn Orenstein, the head of HR. She is nice and will use the meeting as a basic opportunity to weed out those who don't seem to have the desire to prospect for new accounts. She will bring in a random sales person for a second opinion if needed. The next round used to be a meeting with the head of sales. She recently resigned and as such the firm no longer has a head of sales. Follow up interviews are now conducted by Peter Sidoti himself. The interviews are entirely 'personality' and 'fit' driven -- he basically just wants to see that you have an interest in the business and are willing to work hard. He tends to wear his emotions on his sleeve, so use this meeting as an opportunity to express your passion to succeed and you will likely be hired.
