The interview process was unique and one of the things that led me to pursue the position. The first step in the process is actually applying and you have to call either the VP of Sales or the Director of Training in order to be considered. When I called, I got Ryan's voicemail and ended up leaving a message.
If your experience appears to be a good fit for HouseCall, they'll contact you and get the next steps in motion:
FYI - When I was hired, I didn't have a phone screen but that is something we are now doing.
1 - You have to do a personality and aptitude test which allows them to see if you have the qualities they look for in an employee - the culture is very important here and so far this has proven to be very successful in bringing in like-minded individuals! The "test" is nothing crazy and if you have a drive to succeed and are outgoing in your sales experience, you should be fine.
2 - If you get through the personality/aptitude test, you then have to create a short presentation for the VP of Sales and the Director of Training. You are tasked with a scenario in which you present the HouseCall product to a company that can benefit from it. Josh (Director of Training) and Ryan (VP of Sales) really get into character so don't be thrown off. Ask questions about their business, make sure you have a grasp on the product and give them solutions to solve their problems, and most importantly, have fun with it (I really enjoyed this portion of the process because it allowed me to learn more about the product while also giving me some insight into what our customers are like).
3 - If you get through the presentation, you are brought in for an in-person interview at the office. When I interviewed (in Feb. 2016) I interviewed with Roland (co-founder and Director of Business Development), Josh, and Ryan. I'll say that the interview process at the office was pretty laid back - they really take the opportunity to learn about you and your background. They are great judges of character and make sure you know what HouseCall is all about. Don't hesitate to ask questions, we are very transparent at HouseCall and they will give you straight answers to anything you want to know.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that this is a startup - everyone here is grinding hard to make sure the company continues to be successful and if you have any reservations about working hard or contributing your knowledge to a team that is continually improving any way they can, don't apply. You'll work really hard but I can honestly say I've never worked with a better group of people in my entire life.
