Application: You start by submitting your application, which typically includes your resume/CV and a cover letter. Some companies may require you to complete an online application form or provide additional documents. Initial screening: After reviewing the applications, the hiring team conducts an initial screening to shortlist candidates. This may involve reviewing resumes, assessing qualifications and experience, and possibly conducting phone or video interviews. The purpose is to narrow down the pool of applicants and identify those who meet the basic requirements.
