Background, communication, career aspirations, and cultural fit are the main topics of the first phase of HR screening. Core PHP, OOP, JavaScript/ES6, MySQL, cloud, WordPress plugins, CLI, multisite, and theme customization are all covered in Round 2 (technical). The third round (the programming test) involves a hands-on coding evaluation to gauge the candidate's ability to solve problems, optimize, and implement PHP, JavaScript, and WordPress customization tasks.
