I was first contacted for the Sales Manager Mid-Market position by Criteo's internal Staffing Coordinator via LinkedIn. After responding to the initial inquiry I was asked to be available for a phone screening later that week. The phone screening involved discussing Criteo as a company, the role itself and you as a candidate. This is effectively stage 1/4 of the interview process ensuring that you understand the key concepts of the position and are a credible candidate. If you are able to pass the question based competency evaluation (phone screening) you will then be asked to do an online analytical test. This test must be done within 72 hours of receiving the necessary email link and is stage 2/4 of the interview process. The 10 question test will have to be answered within 20 minutes and will focus on your numerical ability and critical understanding of core principles used within Criteo. The Staffing Coordinator will advise you by email of the subject ranges included within this examination. Therefore you should be able to revise the necessary principles used to derive the answers for the sales related digital marketing metric questions. If you achieve the minimum required score, or greater, you will then be asked to attend a phone interview conducted by 2 members of the sales team within Criteo. One of these people will be your direct boss alongside another Head of Sales. This is stage 3/4 of the interview process and is effectively a more in-depth version of the initial phone screening. The big difference being that you will have to impress those directly responsible for hiring you so it is best to be firing on all cylinders here. Unfortunately I did not pass this part of the interview process, I believe this was mostly due to me not fitting their ideal candidate in terms of experience and profile. Overall I was very happy with the interview process despite not progressing to stage 4. The Staffing Coordinator was very professional throughout and diligent with feedback. The final part of the interview process would have been based on a power point sales presentation given on Criteo's products/services.

The process was very slow, this could be due to the fact that it was in the summer period. First you get contacted by the recruiter, then a quick interview/sales pitch with the sales manager and then a face to face interview.
