The interview process typically consists of several steps designed to evaluate a candidate’s qualifications, skills, cultural fit, and interest in a position. Here’s an outline of the common stages: 1. Application Review • After submitting your application, recruiters or hiring managers review resumes and cover letters to shortlist candidates who meet the basic qualifications. 2. Initial Screening • Phone or Video Screening: A recruiter or HR representative conducts a brief interview (15–30 minutes) to verify your background, discuss your interest in the role, and assess whether you meet the core requirements. • Questions often cover your resume, basic technical skills, availability, and salary expectations. 3. Technical or Skills Assessment (if applicable) • Some roles require completing an online test, coding challenge, writing sample, or portfolio review to evaluate specific skills. • This step may happen before or after the initial screening.
