I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sage (Manchester, England) in Oct 2020
Interview
I applied to the role on the Sage website - Michael, the internal recruiter, got in touch with me the next day to discuss the opportunity & was very patient with me whilst I was navigating when to apply for my ideal start date.
When I was ready, Michael quickly set up my 1st interview which included a presentation and was so helpful and supportive throughout the process (I am a massive over-thinker, so it really helped to have a calming voice!)
Within 2 days of the 1st interview, Michael had arranged my 2nd interview & got an offer to me within a couple of hours of completing that!
I spoke with 3 interviewers in total - Head of Sales, Head of Training & Sales Manager (who I will be reporting into) - all of whom were SO nice on my interviews & really put me at ease.
I couldn't recommend the process more - it was quick, required a suitable level of research into the business and was a great blend of informal and formal interview style.
Thanks Guys :)!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing out of standard questions -
Why Sage/ Why you/ Why Account Management/ Your background
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Sage in May 2026
Interview
I was reached out to by a recruiter. They didn't prep me for first interview and didn't let me know what to expect. I show up. Interview went pretty good. Then silence for about 2 weeks. I then get an email from Recruiter that they want to move forward. Mind you, a sales manager was supposed to attend virtually and he never showed up to the first one remotely. This next interview was with them. I wait in the teams meeting for 25 minutes and have to reach out to recruiter and HR that they didn't show up. Next day, Sage lets me know they're "changing gears" and focusing on hiring in another location instead. Comically bad professionalism.

Interview
Muy agradables tanto la recruiter como los dos managers que hicieron las entrevistas. En mi caso fueron 3 pasos. Sabian la información que querian sacar del candidato y fueron sinceros sobre expectativas del rol. Luego recibi una llamada informandome sobre la decision, no tuve que esperar demasiado, consideran el tiempo del candidato.
