I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Insight Global (Vancouver, BC) in Jul 2025
Interview
The interview process at Insight Global was very extensive and took about a month from start to finish. It consisted of five stages: starting with a 30-minute phone call with a recruiter, followed by a virtual interview with the same recruiter. After that, there was an in-person interview with a sales manager and two account managers, then another with the director of operations and an additional account manager. The final step was a formal presentation to the sales manager, director of operations, and an account manager.
Throughout the process, it’s clear that they want to get a strong sense of who you are. The interviews were high-energy and focused heavily on your ability to sell yourself and demonstrate drive. It felt like they were really trying to break you down to understand your personality and motivations, which I appreciated to an extent — it showed they were intentional about who they bring onto the team.
However, the length and intensity of the process felt excessive at times, especially considering that I came into the office in person three separate times. After dedicating a full month, preparing for multiple interviews, and meeting much of the team, I was disappointed to only receive a generic rejection email. A quick phone call would have felt more respectful and professional given the time and effort involved.
Overall, the process felt like classic high-pressure recruitment — thorough, fast-paced, and high-expectation, but somewhat impersonal at the end. My recruiter was very kind and supportive, but the process as a whole could benefit from a more human-centered conclusion. It did feel like I was trying to get into a cult at the end.
My advice to anyone applying to Insight Global is to keep your options open throughout the process. Even if you’re progressing through each round, nothing is guaranteed — and a month is a long time to dedicate solely to one opportunity that may not work out in the end.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One question they asked was: “Why do you want to work at Insight Global?” After I responded, they continued to ask, “What else?” repeatedly — pushing me to dig deeper and provide more reasons until I ran out of things to say. It seemed designed to test how well I could think on my feet and how strongly I could sell my interest in the company.

Question 1
You have to make a presentation about yourself and basically sell yourself to them.
Recruiter reached out on LinkedIn and then we had a phone call. Then a 30-45 min video call. We were scheduled for an interview in person with a manager and a sales manager but I ended up declining and not going to that. After that interview assuming they wanted me to move forward with them it was supposed to be a longer shadowing day/final interview and giving some sort of presentation. It wasn’t necessarily a bad interview process I just ended up doing research on the company and reviews from past employees and decided it wasn’t for me.

Question 1
They wanted to make sure I had a passion for sales and that I had read about their missions and phrases they live by. (This was what the video interview was based on) the initial call on the phone was just explaining the role basically. I was told they don’t hire based on what your resume says or skills you have. But it’s more about if you’re willing to do sales and fit the personality they’re looking for. So if you’re interested you should be motivated by making money and not afraid to make cold calls even if it’s not your favorite thing
