Behavioral & Values (Hiring Manager)

Conversational, usually with the hiring manager

What they actually ask

The question shapes this round uses. Larpy does not read these out. It builds each one from your own resume, because the generic version is the one you have already rehearsed.

  • “Why Salesforce?”
  • “Tell me about a time you had a conflict with a teammate and how you resolved it.”
  • “Describe a project that failed or didn't go as planned. What did you learn?”
  • “Tell me about a time you had to make a decision without complete information.”
  • “Describe a time you went above and beyond for a customer or user.”
  • “Tell me about a time you took ownership of something outside your responsibilities.”
  • “How do you handle competing priorities and tight deadlines?”
  • “Tell me about a time you disagreed with your manager.”

What this round is judged on

  • Values fit · alignment with Trust, Customer Success, Equality
  • Ownership · driving outcomes and reflecting honestly
  • Collaboration · handling conflict and lifting the team
  • Customer orientation · framing decisions around user impact
  • Motivation · authentic reasons for Salesforce specifically

What happens in each stage›
Recruiter Phone Screen
~30 min spoken call covering background, motivation, logistics, target level, and compensation, plus light role fit.
Technical Phone Screen (Coding)
~45-60 min live coding in a shared editor with an engineer or hiring manager; 1-2 data-structures/algorithms problems. New-grad and university pipelines may instead use a timed HackerRank online assessment.
Virtual Onsite Loop
Commonly 4-5 back-to-back rounds: two coding rounds (DS&A, one may lean practical/OOP design), one system design round (senior; often OOD or omitted for new grads), one behavioral/values hiring-manager round, and sometimes a project or team-fit deep-dive.
Debrief & Team Match
Panel debrief, recruiter delivers the outcome, and a team match may follow.
