When hiring new sales talent, how many people on your team (not HR/recruiting) typically interview the candidate? Do more interviews help build rapport and bring in top talent?

Too many interviews in a long hiring process can make salespeople nervous. Or you can lose candidates to a company who can make an offer quickly.  Figure out what you need to know and who needs to meet them, then make a decision.  You can have more than one interviewer per call to cut down the number of meetings.
