The interview process typically begins with an initial screening, often conducted by a recruiter, to assess a candidate’s background, skills, and overall fit for the role. This is usually followed by one or more technical or functional interviews where candidates are evaluated on their problem-solving abilities, domain knowledge, and practical skills through assessments, coding tests, or case studies. In later stages, behavioral interviews may be conducted to understand the candidate’s soft skills, cultural alignment, and ability to work in a team. Some processes also include panel interviews or final discussions with senior management before an offer is extended. Overall, the interview process is designed to provide a holistic view of a candidate’s qualifications and potential contributions to the organization.
