The interview process typically begins with candidates submitting their applications, including a resume and cover letter. Recruiters or hiring managers then screen these applications to shortlist candidates who meet the job requirements. Shortlisted candidates usually undergo an initial phone or video screening, where basic qualifications, interest in the role, and background are discussed. This is followed by a more in-depth first interview, which was conducted via video. During this stage, candidates are asked detailed questions about their experience, skills, and fit for the position.
