What's the secret to landing a job at HubSpot?

I’m puzzled about HubSpot’s hiring criteria. Two people I know got jobs there with minimal experience. One was a former coach, and the other had less than 5 years of work history. Meanwhile, I’ve got a decade of sales experience, including SaaS and cold calling, but keep getting rejected.

What gives? Are they only after newbies? I’ve got a degree and I’m eyeing a master’s program. Neither of my acquaintances had degrees or inside connections. I outperform them both, and my social media is clean.

I’m starting to wonder if there’s some hidden requirement I’m missing. Anyone have insights on what HubSpot values in candidates? It feels like I’m hitting an invisible wall every time I apply.

hubspot’s hiring can be tricky. i’ve heard they focus on culture fit and adaptability more than just experience. maybe try highlighting how ur sales skills translate to their specific needs? also, networking at their events or connecting with employees could give u an edge. don’t give up!

Having been through HubSpot’s hiring process myself, I can shed some light on what they’re looking for. It’s not just about experience or degrees. HubSpot places a huge emphasis on cultural fit and a growth mindset. They want people who are adaptable, eager to learn, and who align with their company values.

In my case, I highlighted my passion for continuous learning and provided examples of how I’ve embraced change in previous roles. They also value candidates who demonstrate strong problem-solving skills and creative thinking. It might be helpful for you to tailor your application to emphasize these qualities and clearly illustrate how your extensive experience aligns with HubSpot’s culture.
