I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at HubSpot (Dublin, Dublin) in May 2025
Interview
I had a call with a recruiter in Dublin for an Account Executive position. I’ve never seen a recruiter so bitter—she didn’t even smile. She immediately made me feel uncomfortable and stressed me out. I tried to answer her questions clearly, but she kept interrupting me, saying we didn’t have time and to hurry up. I felt frustrated throughout the entire interview and couldn’t concentrate anymore—I was completely thrown off. Honestly, it’s shameful for such a big company like HubSpot.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Before I even had the chance to introduce myself or say my name, the first question was: ‘Why do you want to work at HubSpot? Why do you want to work with us?

Interview with Manager (mock disco)
Interview with another Manager (mock solution presentation)
Interview with your Sales Director (pretty easy, be human, we talked about fishing)
The two managers you get can make or break you getting in as some are tougher than others.
Multiple meetings and material to review for your interview stages. Be prepared to take 5 hours out of your work day to join the interview prep calls and meetings. Total time dedicated to interviews and preparation time roughly 10 hours.
I applied online. I interviewed at HubSpot (Dallas, TX) in May 2026
Interview
Very thorough and transparent interview process. Make sure you come well-prepared and can confidently speak to your ability to consistently execute 50+ outbound calls per day. I would also recommend highlighting a structured sales system you’ve successfully used and be prepared to walk through it in detail—from territory mapping and prospect research to outbound outreach, meeting generation, pipeline management, and follow-up cadence. The more you can demonstrate a repeatable, process-driven approach to generating results, the stronger your candidacy will be. Additionally, have specific metrics and success stories ready that showcase how your system has translated into meetings, opportunities, and revenue.
