The interview process typically begins after an application is reviewed and shortlisted, starting with an initial screening that may be conducted by phone or video to assess basic qualifications, communication skills, and overall fit. Candidates who pass this stage are usually invited to one or more formal interviews, which can include behavioral questions, technical or role-specific assessments, and discussions about experience, problem-solving ability, and career goals. These interviews may be conducted by hiring managers, team members, or panels. In some cases, additional steps such as practical tasks, presentations, or background checks are included before a final decision is made and an offer is extended to the selected candidate.
