Process

I was contacted by a recruiter online, and a phone interview was set up for two weeks later.

The phone interview included simple technical questions, such as how to convert a number from decimal to binary. No behavioral questions were asked.

Questions

I didn't expect the recruiter to ask technical questions, as this was the first phone interview conducted by HR.
