It took about 4-5 weeks for the entire hiring process and it involved multiple phone and in-person interviews. After the team had screened the initial applications, they shortlisted 3-5 applicants. Then phone interviews were held via skype. The interview team included colleagues doing similar work, team leaders and the senior leadership. All interviews allowed some time for the interviewees to ask questions about the organization and the culture. It was a great way for the selected candidates to also learn about the organization, the team they were likely to join and get a sense of the colleagues they would be interacting with.
