Phone Screening: Shortlisted candidates will often receive a phone call from an HR representative or recruiter for an initial screening interview. During this call, the recruiter will discuss the candidate's background, experience, and motivation for applying. They may also provide more information about the role and answer any questions the candidate might have. First-Round Interview: Candidates who perform well during the phone screening will be invited to a first-round interview, which can be conducted in person, over the phone, or through video conferencing. This interview will typically be with the hiring manager or a member of the business development team. The interviewer will delve deeper into the candidate's experience, skills, and approach to business development.
