HR screening interview over phone call. The lady was very nice and easy to talk to. I got scheduled for a technical interview, but they'd already found another candidate before my interview date.

As a candidate, you often meet various people within the company, including the recruiter, hiring manager, other leadership, and sometimes potential colleagues. There may be phone interviews, in-person interviews and skills assessments. And while the interview process may feel intense and lengthy, it provides the company with critical information about your candidacy.
