The interview process is a structured series of steps used by employers to assess candidates for job positions. It usually begins with candidates submitting applications and resumes. After an initial review, candidates may undergo a screening interview, often conducted over the phone or through video conferencing. If successful, candidates may progress to multiple rounds of interviews, which can include technical assessments, behavioral interviews, and panel discussions. Reference checks may be conducted to verify a candidate's qualifications and character. The final stage involves extending a job offer to the most suitable candidate, while others receive rejections. The process can vary depending on the organization and role, and may include additional steps such as skills tests, group interviews, or assessment centers.
