After working for 6 months as a contractor in the team a full time position was created to replace my contractor role. As a contractor I had to go through the same process as an external candidate (which I already did when I first stated as a contractor). resume screening, phone interview with the recruiter followed by 2 rounds of interviews in which I was interviewed by the hiring manager, her boss, ber boss's boss but also by potential co-workers and internal partner/clients.
