I've spoken with clients recently that have struggled to secure talent for their SDR teams. Unnecessarily lengthy interview processes, amongst general market conditions seems to be the main culprit for this. With attrition rates as high as they are, striking the right balance of thoroughly evaluating suitability and maintaining momentum in the process can be a tough one. Here's how I would structure a succinct 3 stage interview process that should cover off both: Stage 1 - Behavioral Interview with Talent Team/Hiring Manager via teams - Assessing Cultural Alignment/Understanding of the company - Opportunity to get to know the candidate Stage 2 - In person Sales Focused Interview with 2 x roleplays - Sales related questions to assess general understanding/competency - Roleplay #1 to assess ability to think under pressure, rejection handling etc - Roleplay #2 to assess coachability and willingness to take on feedback Stage 3 - Meet The Team / Informal Offer Realistically these 3 stages could be completed in 10-14 days tops, but does require a commitment from all parties to keep things moving. What are your thoughts?

⚠ Microsoft licencing is changing ⚠ You may have heard that Microsoft has unbundled Teams from its licences, meaning you can now purchase it separately across M365 and O365 licences. We have seen this cause confusion for customers looking to renew and unsure what the best option is for their Microsoft estate. We recommend auditing your current licence estate to make sure you know exactly what you have now, how much you’re paying and how much those licences are actually being used across the business. We can do this through our Effective Licence Position Assessment > https://lnkd.in/eUCMFVAR If this is something you think your business would benefit from, drop me an email with the subject ‘ELP assessment’ to [email protected] #thisisfocus #microsoft #microsoftlicencing #elpassessment #m365 #o365
