1. The Initial Screening Once your resume clears the AI filters, you’ll usually start with a Recruiter Screen. Duration: 15–30 minutes. Goal: To verify the basics, salary expectations, notice period, and genuine interest. Vibe: Casual but critical. If you aren’t enthusiastic here, you won't make it to the "real" interviews. 2. The Technical or Skills Assessment Depending on your field, you might be asked to prove you can actually do the job before meeting the team. Coding Challenges: (For devs) Platforms like LeetCode or HackerRank. Case Studies: (For marketing/consulting) Solving a business problem on the fly. Work Samples: Providing a portfolio or completing a "take-home" assignment.
