I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at LinkedIn
Interview
Very thorough process and had at least 5 stages it. After applying via LinkedIn went through the following steps: evaluation through 3rd party hiring test, screening call with a recruiter, call with senior team member, call with hiring manager, in-person interview with hiring manager and two other senior team members which also included a 15 min role play exercise, final call with senior director of sales. Each step was thorough and requires being exceptionally prepared and ready to prove your value. The recruiter/hiring manager/team members were incredibly helpful throughout - very responsive, great understanding of the role, answered ad hoc questions, etc. The only hitch in the entire process was one or two late notices from recruiting scheduler on times for calls but the primary contact recruiter was always responsive. Overall super in-depth process but worth the wait!

I applied online. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Spoke to recruiter and hiring manager. Followed up multiple times with recruiter but never responded. Saw on LinkedIn that a new person got the job, and that's how I found out the job opening was filled.
I applied online. I interviewed at LinkedIn (Dublin, Dublin) in Jan 2026
Interview
The process went very well - I applied through LinkedIn and after 10 min I already received an email to schedule the screening call. I had 3 interviews in total: Screening, hiring manager, and panel (mock call).
From the recruiter to the panel, all the people I interviewed with were absolutely amazing! I had such a great experience.
If you are have experience in such role, passing the interviews wouldn't be hard, just need to practice properly.
