Application: The process typically begins when a candidate submits an application or resume to the company. This could be in response to a posted job opening or as a speculative application. Screening: HR or recruitment team reviews the applications to determine which candidates meet the minimum qualifications for the position. In some cases, there may be an initial screening call or online assessment. First Round Interview: Candidates who pass the screening stage are usually invited for a first-round interview. This could be a phone call, a video call, or an in-person meeting. The first-round interview is typically a chance for the employer to learn more about the candidate's skills, experience, and interest in the position. Often, it's a behavioural interview where the interviewer asks the candidate about their past work experiences, skills, and how they would handle specific situations.
