Compass Strategic Growth Manager interview questions

Spoke with recruiter who said I had a strong profile and that I would be a good fit for the role. Told me that I would be doing a role play as part of my follow-up interview and advised I prepare for that. Went in for my follow-up interview and met with an individual who would be considered a peer (ie fellow individual contributor) if I were to be hired. Had 30-40 minutes of Q&A, but no role play as previously advised by the recruiter... Was sent a generic email stating that they were focusing on other candidates who are a better fit. Advice for recruitment team and sales management: keep the fox out of the hen house when establishing new markets and hiring initial sales personnel. When the interviewer and interviewee are potential sales peers, it doesn't seem wise to give the interviewer the final say in the process--especially in the competitive role of sales. The inherent risks using such an approach are obvious and could impact meeting both hiring quotas and the quality of sales personnel that are brought on-board.
