Phone Screening A brief call with HR to verify your qualifications, experience, and interest in the role. This might include basic questions about your resume and a chance for you to ask initial questions about the position. 3. Initial Interview Typically conducted by a hiring manager or team lead, focusing on your technical skills, experience, and fit for the team. This could be done in person, over the phone, or via video call. 4. Assessment/Testing Depending on the role, there may be skills assessments or tests to evaluate your technical abilities. For example, this might be a coding test for a software developer or a case study for a business analyst. 5. Panel/Second Interview A more in-depth interview with multiple stakeholders from the company. This round often dives deeper into your experience, problem-solving abilities, and how you handle various work scenarios. 6.

This might involve more casual discussions with potential future colleagues. 7. Final Interview The final interview might involve meeting with senior leadership or department heads. This is often more about the company selling itself to you, as much as you selling yourself to them. 8.
