I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Toronto, ON) in Dec 2025
Interview
Overall, the interview process was smooth and well-structured. It began with an initial outreach from a recruiter, followed by a quick 15-minute screening call. Once there was mutual alignment, I was connected with a senior recruiter to discuss the Account Executive opportunities in more detail.
From there, the process included two additional interview stages. The first was a conversation with the Hiring Manager to assess fit, experience, and sales approach. If successful, candidates move on to the final presentation stage.
The final stage involves delivering a presentation focused on why Salesforce should hire you. This includes your personal and professional background, your sales process, and how your skills and experience would translate into success at Salesforce. The presentation itself is very manageable as long as you’re given enough time to prepare and think through your slides in advance.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Walk me through your experience. Be prepared to talk about what you did at your current company, and be prepared to speak in the simplest terms.
Apply via Workday, initial recruiter screening via phone call, 1:1 manager interview and introduction, then panel presentation with role play. You'll need to build and present a deck in the final stages.

Question 1
Walk me through a deal example and how you won the opportunity.
pretty easy interview. Had to do a case. It felt like it was just a formality and they put me up to it to fit into their standard processes. Not the best experience but it is what it is
I applied online. I interviewed at Salesforce (London, England)
Interview
There was a massive lag between the first and second round through the internal recruiters. Then the one with the hiring manager was dreadful, he showed up 10 minutes late to the Zoom and then said ‘I hadn’t even prepared for this, let’s go through your cv now’.
