Candidate-reported interview process
Hiring involves a multi-step process. It mainly includes interviews that can be one-on-one, with a group of candidates, or a panel. Interviews might be in person, over the phone, via email, or video calls. The exact process varies for each company, depending on the job and who's in charge of hiring. The interview process has several distinct steps to help employers decide if they want to hire a candidate.
The recruiter started by grilling me on my resume, skipping over a lot of it. They asked about why I left my previous airline.
We had a group interview, and they made a hiring decision right away. First, they gave us an info session about the interview process and what it's like if you get the job. Then, a union rep and a manager took turns asking us questions.
