What can you tell us about the interview process at Anaplan?
It can be totally different per line of business but they all, for the most part, follow a similar structure. Usually, the first step is talking to a recruiter. Its usually a 30-45 minute phone call to cover the job logistics— what the role is, what the scope of the role is, what the career path for that role is, and then understanding how that persons attributes, skills, and background fit into that role.
Then, we make a decision on whether or not we should continue the conversation— or if maybe theres a different opportunity thats scoped better for that person. From there it goes to a hiring manager interview, and that’s usually virtual for about 45-60 minutes. At that point, if we want to move forward with that candidate we’ll usually bring them into the office where theyll have anywhere from three to five onsite interviews. That will be anywhere from two to four hours depending on the type of role and the number of people we have meeting them.
Once we have our finalists, we go to final interviews, usually with either an ELT member or a VP of that organization. From there we go to offer. The process generally is anywhere from three to six weeks.
