Application Submission: The process usually begins with the submission of an application, resume, and sometimes a cover letter. This can be done through the company's career website or a job board. Resume Screening: The hiring team reviews resumes to shortlist candidates based on their qualifications and experience. This phase helps identify individuals whose skills and background align with the job requirements. Initial Contact: Shortlisted candidates are contacted for an initial screening. This might be a brief phone call or an email to confirm interest, discuss basic qualifications, and schedule the first interview.
