Application Submission: The process usually begins with the submission of an online application or resume through the company's career website, a job board, or via email. Resume Screening: After receiving applications, the HR team or hiring manager reviews the submitted resumes to shortlist candidates who meet the basic qualifications for the job. Initial Screening: Many companies conduct an initial screening, which may involve a brief phone call or video interview with an HR representative. The purpose is to gauge your interest, clarify any initial questions, and assess whether you meet some basic criteria. First Interview: The first formal interview often takes place with a recruiter or HR representative. This can be conducted in person, over the phone, or via video call. The focus is on getting to know you better, understanding your qualifications, and assessing your fit for the position. Technical/Assessment Round (if applicable): Depending on the role, you may be asked to complete technical tests, assessments, or task-based exercises to evaluate your skills and competencies.
