Instead of multiple initial screening calls, you’ll have one opportunity to introduce yourself, discuss your Customer Success or Account Management experience, explain how you’ve onboarded customers, driven product adoption, managed renewals, or handled at-risk accounts, and share examples of how you’ve improved customer retention or expanded existing relationships. Your video will be reviewed by the hiring team before moving to the client interview.

You can record your video as many times as you’d like before submitting it—only your final version will be reviewed.
