The interview process typically begins with the submission of a resume and cover letter. Next, HR screens the applications to shortlist suitable candidates. Shortlisted candidates are then invited for a first interview, usually with HR, to discuss their background and qualifications. Successful candidates move on to a second, more in-depth interview with the hiring manager or team, focusing on specific skills and fit for the role. This may be followed by an assessment or test related to the job. A final interview with senior management or executives might be conducted. If the candidate is successful, they receive a job offer, which they can review and accept, leading to the onboarding process.
