A typical interview process includes these steps:

• Application review
• Initial screening (phone or video)
• Technical/skills assessment
• Behavioral interview
• Panel interview
• Cultural fit discussion
• Final round with leadership

Post-interview, recruiters gather feedback, evaluate candidates, and extend an offer to the selected individual, followed by background checks if necessary.
