Initial screening: This is usually a brief phone or video call with a recruiter or hiring manager to discuss the candidate's background, qualifications, and interest in the position. First-round interview: The first in-person or virtual interview is usually conducted by the recruiter or a member of the HR team. The interview may cover the candidate's experience, skills, and motivation for the role. Depending on the position, the interviewer may ask behavioral, technical, or situational questions. Second-round interview: If the candidate passes the initial screening, they may be invited for a second interview. This may involve meeting with the hiring manager or a panel of interviewers who will delve deeper into the candidate's experience, skills, and cultural fit.
