Colloquio
I applied online and was called by an Avant Recruiter. My first call seemed to be from a recruiter from their HR team. The recruiter confirmed that and at the end of the call he stated that if I made the next step, it will be with a member of their engineering team.
Overall, I had a friendly conversation with the recruiter, and I was able to provide in-depth my experience and skills thus far. The phone screen was more behavioral based, which is understandable. Afterwards, he told me about the company and their culture.
Although I was informed that I was a strong candidate, due to the current virus situation they have paused hiring for the role. Hopefully, I'll be able to reconnect and interview again in the future.

Colloquio
A recruiter scheduled the initial phone interview about my background. During the call, he blurted out technologies I didn't mention and asked about my experience working on them. When I pointed out to him that I didn't mention 'Y' technology, he would look at my resume and say that he meant to ask about 'X' instead. He literally yawned a couple of times during the interview and rushed through the entire call.
It was obvious this process wasn't meant to proceed further than the call. Why bother calling up a person when that's the case? Their job description said the interview process is technology agnostic, definitely not true in my case.
Be prepared to be contacted by a recruiter who has no interest whatsoever (clearly didn't even go through my resume before the call) and no technical background (in his own words) listen to you (or not).

Colloquio
Process consisted of a call with the recruiter, then a video call tech screen and finally a (virtual) onsite interview, as I was out of state. The onsite component was three interviews: one technical and two behavioral.
