Apply via website and then set up call with recruiter. During this time you cover the role and discuss your background to ensure mutual fit. From here you set up the onsite visit with hiring managers. My process ended here as we just didn't click. First sign things probably wouldn't be a fit is them arriving 10 mins late and asking my thoughts on pounding the phone for 10 hours. Because that is what we are looking for and that what the team is currently doing. You have to be hungry and if your hungry then this won't work out.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about your background.
What makes you think you are a good fit?
Do you consider your self a hard worker?
What do you know about Podium?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Podium (Lehi, UT) in Jul 2025
Interview
They rescheduled the meeting multiple times. Then they showed up late. They then proceeded to give the most unprepared interview I have ever had, while walking away from their laptop multiple times. Body language couldn't be more obvious that they didn't care I was there.
They questions themselves were pretty standard: How do you currently work deals, Why do you want to work at podium. Etc.
I did think it was funny that they gave me a lecture about needing to research the company more before an interview (fair) while they clearly didn't prep for the meeting at all. It was too bad because the first interview I had with them from their HR team was incredibly professional and sharp. The woman who ran it did an incredible job, But the second one was a total cluster.

Question 1
Why do you want to work at Podium?
How do you currently procure opportunities?
Casual, panel of 3 interviewers, They asked me a slew of questions about history, but more questions about how I would approach prospecting in different situations. Overall it was a positive experience, all 3 interviewers were managers, and I ended up working for one of them
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Podium (Melbourne) in Feb 2025
Interview
Managers were nice enough but seems they were looking for someone with direct tech sales experience and I was out of the running from the start - definitely not my strongest interview anyway.
Cheers to the recruiter for putting me forward - he was pretty hopeless with follow up. Gotta learn how to deliver bad news my dude, it's literally the job and super bad for your personal brand as a recruiter. Nice enough guy.
