Marketing interview questions and answers…what’s broken today?
The B2B marketing industry has done a disservice to tech and SaaS companies by offering up too many candidates who ‘over advertise’ themselves.
Our industry has lots of job candidates who:
- have not stayed current
- have little or no aptitude for technology
- do not have a strong work ethic
Another problem is that web searches yield tons of free, generic ‘marketing interview questions and answers’ with softball questions that anyone can hit over the fence.
Our guide helps you ask the hard questions and, most importantly, evaluate answers like a pro.

Answers to Your Questions
How are you qualified?
20+ years as CMO at west coast tech and SaaS companies. I’ve interviewed more candidates for marketing jobs than I can count.
I am an expert at quickly discovering whether the candidate has the right skillsets, capabilities and attitude to get the job done on time and on budget.
How do unqualified candidates slip through?
No one asks them the hard questions!
Or, if they ask the hard questions, they don’t know enough about 2023 tech and SaaS marketing to understand the answers.
Unfortunately, the marketing industry is full of poseurs with rock solid resumes. The interviewer must have much more than a passing familiarity with marketing to quickly spot the phonies and otherwise unqualified candidates.
Why is your marketing interview questions and answers system different?
Using our researched blend of marketing interview questions and answers will reveal a candidate’s real strengths, weaknesses, work ethic, and attitude towards co-workers.
Our interview questions are structured in three tiers:
Tier 1: Can they do the job?
Tier 2: Will they do the job?
Tier 3: Will they fit in?
Each section of our system uses this blend of questions:
- Relationship questions
- Competency-based questions
- Behavioural questions
- Situational questions
What are the outcomes?
- Identify qualified candidates quickly with no ambiguity
- Weed out unqualified candidates in a phone call
- Trusted, professional guidance from a real CMO
- Lighten your workload with affordable, one-and-done solutions
- No contracts or add-ons
