Build simulation

Halden wants a decision by Thursday

About 45 minutes

The situation

Halden is asking for 20% off to renew. Sales thinks we should agree. Usage has dropped since March.

What they work with

  • The account history and a usage sheet
  • A call with Jo, the customer
  • Marcus in sales, who disagrees

What it shows you

Whether they diagnose before they pitch, and how they handle a buyer who pushes back.

Or tell Nod what to change below.

Nod builds the experience

It builds the situation, the people and the files, so you don’t have to.

Candidates sit the simulation

They work in the apps the job runs on, from one link. No account, no download.

Real files

Live spreadsheets, PDFs and mailboxes, plus code when the role needs it.

Colleagues who answer back

They email back, push back on calls and pick up the phone.

You see who stands out, and why

Everyone does the same work, so the shortlist comes from what people did. Every line opens to its evidence.

Renewals account executive

Amara Osei

Asked what changed before she mentioned price

2

James Taylor

Took the renewal apart before answering it

Lena Park

Offered a rollout review instead of a discount

Dan Whitfield

Clear plan, missed the usage drop

Amara Osei

Renewals account executive, 44 min of work
Exceptional1st of 61

Amara did not open with the discount. She read the usage sheet first, found that Halden’s drop sat in one team after the spring rollout, and asked Jo what had changed before she mentioned price. She told Marcus the 20% would not fix a usage problem, and offered a rollout review instead.

Worth meeting in person.

Describe who you need. Nod builds the work to find them.

Candidates get the ability to do the work.

A GTM lead is asked by the founder whether Teams should be priced per seat or per workspace. They open the usage export, sort by seats and find six workspaces carrying 58% of usage with 54 requests for admin controls, read the lost-deal interviews, and reply with a per-workspace proposal and a model.

Fair to every candidate.

A real hour of work, the same for everyone, read on its merits.

Same work, same conditions

Everyone gets the same brief, files and colleagues, however they applied.

Nothing to prepare

One link. No account, no download, no trick questions.

Judged on what they did

Every point in the read cites the work behind it.

People make the call

Nod explains how each person approached the work. Your team decides who to meet.

It’s more than a hire.

For years, hiring has been optimised for speed and efficiency. Somewhere along the way, we started taking the human out of it.

We built Nod to help you understand the person behind the application.

In a world of AI, who you choose to work with matters more than ever.
