A short introductory call to discuss your background, the role, salary expectations, and availability. It also helps gauge your communication skills and overall fit for the company.

Online coding or problem-solving challenges (for technical roles)

Deep technical questions or project discussions
Role-specific knowledge and practical application of skills
