Our process has 7 steps: a phone screen, a virtual interview, a 1.5-hour visit to the floor with a mock role play, two references and a short email assessment, then the offer. You will see the job before you take it.
We're committed to an inclusive and equitable candidate experience, one that embraces everyone's uniqueness. Along the way, we encourage you to aim high, challenge yourself (and us), and show what makes you you. This is a general overview of the interview journey; your recruiter will advise on specifics depending on your role and location.
Once you submit your application, our Talent Team will review it. If there's a match, we'll reach out to you to complete a phone screen.
During the phone screen, one of our recruiters will work to understand your background, motivations and career goals and, of course, discuss what it's like to be part of the Abstrakt team. Interviewing is a two-way street, so ask questions to make sure we're what you're looking for as well.
Next, you'll have a virtual interview with a member of our People Team, who will ask about your experience, how you'd work together, and how you can bring new perspectives to the team.
If we move forward, we'll invite you on site for a tour of our campus, a shadow session with a current team member, and a mock role-play session.
After your on-site visit, we'll ask for contact information for two references we can reach out to about your prior experience.
We'll send you two sample partner email prompts and ask you to respond as you would if they came from a real Abstrakt partner.
If it's a match on both ends, your recruiter will reach out with the best part: your offer. If you accept, we'll kick off preboarding to get you ready for day one, and our training team will be there at each step so you feel ready to start making an impact.
We do not publish a set timeline for each step: it depends on the role and on scheduling. Your recruiter will keep you posted.
Practical advice for every step. None of it requires sales experience, and all of it shows the habits the job runs on.

Yes. The on-site visit includes a shadow session with a current team member and a mock role-play session, all in about an hour and a half.
Abstrakt has a business casual dress code, so business casual is the right call for your visit too.
No. We hire for drive, coachability, and communication skills, not just résumés. Many of our top-performing SDRs had no formal sales experience before joining. If you're hungry to learn, ready to grow, and thrive in a fast-paced team environment, we'll train you to succeed.
Two. After your on-site visit we ask for contact information for two references who can speak to your prior experience.
It depends on the role. The St. Louis SDR role is office-based, with flexibility and the chance to earn remote work. Partner Account Managers are hybrid: they start in the office and earn more remote time as they hit milestones. The remote SDR role is for candidates in the Kansas City area only.
Sales development roles pay a base salary plus commission. Each open job lists its posted pay range, and your offer letter spells out the plan for your role.
Yes. Our people come from more than 100 universities, and our Executive Vice President of Training and Development joined out of Mizzou as an entry-level SDR. The SDR posting does not ask for sales experience; the Partner Account Manager posting asks for a bachelor's degree in sales, marketing, business or a related field.
We start preboarding to get you ready for day one. Then comes training: every rep completes two weeks of extensive training before taking a call on the floor. Every rep is certified on a client, including AI role plays, before representing that client.
