Phone Screen Interview. I was initially contacted by a Thumbtack recruiter via email and was invited to discuss opportunities either by phone or email. The recruiter sent me a link for a web form where I could schedule an appointment for a phone interview.

Two weeks later, I received a call from the recruiter who introduced me to the following topics: company’s current challenges, open positions, employed programming languages, collaboration culture, and career development. The interviewer also walked me through the entire hiring process step by step.

The entire call took around 40 minutes. I didn’t pass to the next interview round.

The questions included my background, education, and technical skill set.
