1. According to you, what is the interview process?
The interview process is a structured method used by organizations to assess a
candidate’s qualifications, personality, and suitability for a specific role. It typically
involves several stages such as application screening, preliminary interviews
(telephonic or virtual), technical assessments, and final HR interviews. The process is
designed to evaluate not only the candidate’s knowledge and skills but also their
attitude, communication abilities, problem-solving approach, and cultural fit with the
organization. A good interview process is two-way: while the employer evaluates the
candidate, the candidate also assesses if the company aligns with their career goals
and values.
