Review of the Hiring Process at Oyster

Oyster has a human-centric approach to their hiring process, focusing on rigorous personality assessments.
The sales team and management at Oyster demonstrate incredible empathy and high emotional intelligence.
The company values a diverse workforce, with a significant percentage of atypical third culture AE millennials and Gen z SDRS, bringing diverse backgrounds in psychology, law, political science, and more.

Oyster is a remote-first company, so competition for these positions are extreme, with a Glassdoor rating of 4.8. it's attracting alot of people

This company may not be the ideal fit for extroverted alpha sales individuals.

The screening process at Oyster is thorough and effective, ensuring candidates are a good fit for the company culture.

The hiring process typically involves a conversational interview with the hiring manager, a peer interview, and an interview with another manager of the same stature but managing a different team.

Candidates are often required to complete a case study and present it to the hiring manager and the VP of Sales.
Note that the VP of Sales has left the company to start his own startup, and it is likely that the new Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) will be involved in the interview process, potentially raising the bar even higher.

Oyster strives to keep candidates informed throughout the process, maintaining good communication and transparency.

However, due to a current hiring freeze, it is uncertain when the company will resume normal hiring activities.
Overall, the hiring process at Oyster is well-structured, focusing on finding candidates who align with their human-centric and diverse values. The competition is tough, but for those who meet the qualifications, it offers an opportunity to work with an empathetic and emotionally intelligent sales team.
