An interview process is a structured method organizations use to evaluate candidates for a role. It typically begins with application screening, followed by an initial HR or recruiter call to assess fit. Next comes one or more rounds of technical, skill-based, or behavioral interviews, often including assignments or case studies. Some processes involve panel interviews, group discussions, or practical tests. Final rounds may focus on cultural fit and alignment with company values, often with senior leadership. After evaluation, the hiring team compares candidates, checks references if needed, and extends an offer to the selected applicant.
