I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce in Dec 2023
Interview
ESMB Territory Account Executive (Germany) based out of Dublin
1. Recruiter Call
2. Hiring Manager Interview
3. Panel Interview
I am overall very impressed with the process. Unlike at many other companies, the recruiter coached me throughout the interviews by giving tipps and detailed information on what to expect. She even took the time to meet with me twice before the panel interview to first explain the tasks in detail and give tipps and second give feedback on the presentation that I had prepared. This helped me to be set up for success.
The panel interview was as expected. Many questions were asked by interrupting my presentation or reacting to my questions.
After I received the offer, both the recruiter and hiring manger were kind enough to take the time to answer all my remaining questions regarding the relocation to Dublin and the role.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (London, England) in Mar 2025
Interview
It felt like a huge achievement to even secure the interview with Salesforce. From the start the recruiter was so incredibly helpful, you really feel like they want you to get the job and they support you in every way you need.
The interviews were difficult but enjoyable - make sure you prepare as you will get found out quickly if you don't. The panel interview especially was the hardest interview I've ever had, they asked a lot of difficult questions, challenged me, and interrupted me at one point. All interjections and questions were fair - they don't try to catch you out on anything. But you need to think about the kind of objections they might bring up when preparing.
I applied on 3rd March, recruiter screening call on 7th March, interview with RVP on 14th March, panel interview on 26th March, and interview with AVP on 27th March. Verbal offer received 10 mins after final interview.

PS is very different to SaaS sales, how do you think you'd cope with the challenge of learning a completely new sales process?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce in Feb 2025
Interview
Straight forward process. First recruiting coordinator call is important, be prepared to go through your work history, why you want salesforce/the job etc. After initial recruiter call, handed off to the recruiter you'll work with through the rest of the process. Next step is a video call interview. If you make it, then you go to the presentation round. I highly suggest getting a referral from someone. Ask the recruiter questions throughout so you get a good feel for what they expect.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce in Jan 2025
Interview
Interview process was very straight forward , the recruiter was very transparent the whole way through with the process. Hiring Managers were very honest about the role and asked specific questions to make sure your experience can be applicable to the role. Presentation is key to getting the role! Overall it is not easy, do the research, do the work. They will know if you did actual work on it. It is the most interviewing and prep I've ever done for a role. But this is SALESFORCE! 100% worth it.
