1. Application and Resume Screening The process begins with candidates submitting their resumes and job applications. Recruiters or hiring managers review these documents to shortlist candidates based on qualifications, experience, and relevant skills. 2. Initial Screening (Phone or Video Interview) Shortlisted candidates usually go through an initial screening round, which may be a phone call or a short video interview. This step helps employers assess basic qualifications, communication skills, and interest in the role. 3. Technical or Skills Assessment For certain roles, especially technical and specialized jobs, candidates might be required to complete an assessment or test. This could include coding tests, case studies, writing samples, or situational judgment tests.
