Application Screening The employer reviews resumes, cover letters, and application forms to shortlist candidates who meet the job requirements. Initial Interview (Phone/Online) A preliminary interview is conducted, often via phone or video call, to assess basic qualifications, communication skills, and interest in the role. In-Person or Panel Interview Shortlisted candidates are invited for a more detailed interview. This may involve one-on-one or panel interviews with HR personnel, hiring managers, or technical experts to evaluate skills, experience, and cultural fit. Technical or Practical Assessment (if applicable) For roles requiring specific skills, candidates may be given a written test, coding challenge, or task simulation to demonstrate their capabilities. Second or Final Interview Top candidates may go through a final round of interviews that focuses more deeply on problem-solving, teamwork, and alignment with company values.
