Candidate-reported interview process

The recruitment process involves three interviews. It starts with an initial contact, followed by a meeting with a category manager, and concludes with a practical case study. They place importance on company values, understanding the market, current trends, and they look for proactivity.

It takes several rows until the latest confirmation (5 interviews in total with different departments POC), due to COVID it was done all online directly through their internal APP - Dingtalk

It was pretty fast. First, I talked to the recruiter. Then, I went to their office and spoke with the Chief of Staff. After that, I met with leads from different departments. We discussed my background and I learned about their roles and what they do.
