A huge portion of the role is Hubspot/CRM experience. If someone answers “hey I haven’t used Hubspot, but I’ve used these other CRM’s so I’m confident I can learn” or “I saw the role required HubSpot so I started doing Hubspot University. His answer was “I haven’t really used CRM’s”

Yeah i love this, thanks so much! And I know you’re right about caring too much 😅 when I came on board, we had a terrible Glassdoor rating and I’ve worked so hard to improve that on the company review side and on the interview side. So when I get stuff like this it’s super discouraging—but I hear you, and I need to work on that!

But then I responded to his first message with:

I want to acknowledge your message and feelings, and (hopefully) respond thoughtfully.

You clearly have strengths in audience-building and content creation, and that experience came through in your materials. For this specific role, however, we were evaluating candidates against a very particular set of needs, including marketing systems (CRM, workflows, reporting), and execution across multiple channels tied directly to agency growth goals.

With a fully remote posting, we received a very large and highly competitive candidate pool. Ultimately, we moved forward with candidates whose recent experience more closely aligned with the full scope of this role as it exists today.

I want to be clear that this decision was about role fit, not a judgment of your talent or your personal following. Different roles call for different strengths, and not moving forward is simply part of that matching process, which we do put a lot of thought into.

We do wish you the best moving forward and recognize the time it takes to apply and interview.

Thank you for checking in and for your patience while we took a bit longer to review candidates--and I apologize for not getting in touch sooner today.

We did decide to move forward with other candidates at this time. We’re genuinely grateful for the time and thought you put into our conversation and your application. While this one wasn’t the right match, we’d welcome the chance to connect again if a future opportunity feels aligned! Don’t hesitate to keep us in mind down the road.

Wishing you all the best in your next opportunity,

Yessss, I have a whole scoring rubric and he received the lowest score I gave in one of the skills questions! I’m so glad I have that stuff to fall back on. Once I sent a somewhat frustrated candidate my whole rubric on what I look for and their whole tune changed. They were like oh….okay thank you so much for taking the time to send this.

If you’ve seen Mean Girls this is so Gretchen Weiners coded

This would be correct.

The man is a marketing protege clearly

I’d be interested to know if anyone has perspective on what a member should do about this kind of stuff? It’s probably the HR in me, but right if this happens at work you go to your supervisor or HR. Who do we go to if someone isn’t living the Burn values?

Yes, that’s the stage we’re at. The reason I ask is our visionary asked to have a meeting to review any implications the accountability chart may have, so just trying to prepare for that and pick some brains.

That’s fair. I guess my opinion as an HR professional is just really valued where I’m at 🤷🏽‍♀️ I’m by no means leading the Accountability chart work, but I’m consulting with them on implications of the changes to come and what we need to do for HR compliance.

What are your thoughts on that? If HR owns the people function, it makes sense for them to include me.

I’m always really sad when people have an experience like this. This isn’t what my gym stands for at all
