The interview process is the method organizations use to evaluate job candidates and select the most suitable person for a position. It usually begins with submitting an application or resume, followed by screening where recruiters review qualifications and shortlist candidates. Selected applicants may then attend one or more interviews—such as phone, video, technical, or in-person interviews—where employers assess their skills, experience, communication, and cultural fit. Some roles may also include tests or practical assessments. After the interviews, the employer compares candidates, checks references if necessary, and offers the job to the person who best matches the requirements.
