Application Review: The hiring team reviews resumes, cover letters, and application materials to shortlist candidates who meet the job requirements. Initial Screening (Phone/Video Interview): A recruiter or hiring manager conducts a brief call or video interview to assess the candidate's qualifications, experience, and interest in the role. This stage often includes clarifying details about the job, company, and candidate expectations. Technical or Skills Assessment: Candidates may be asked to complete a test, assignment, or technical challenge to evaluate their expertise and problem-solving abilities relevant to the role. This could include coding tests, case studies, writing samples, or other role-specific tasks. In-Person or Virtual Interviews: Candidates meet with the hiring manager, team members, or cross-functional stakeholders.
