Initial screening call by HR to assess basic fit, availability, and compensation expectations. This is followed by one or more rounds with functional managers—focusing on technical skills, past experience, and problem-solving abilities. For mid to senior roles, additional rounds may include case studies, presentations, or panel interviews. Cultural fit and alignment with company goals are often evaluated in the final round, sometimes with a founder or CXO. The process usually takes 1–3 weeks, depending on urgency and role level, with communication happening via email, phone, or in-office/virtual meetings.
