First, they look at your resume and application to see if you're a good fit. Then, there might be a quick call or phone interview to check your communication skills, make sure you fit the basic requirements, and see if you're interested. Sometimes, they'll give you tests, like aptitude, skills, or personality tests, to see what you can do and if you'll fit in. Finally, there's a longer interview, probably over the phone or video, where you'll talk more about your background, skills, and experience, and they'll ask you behavioral questions to see how you handle things.

Got referred by a friend and after two weeks, the HR sent an email with available slots. I confirmed a slot and had an interview with the Project Manager and Senior Project Manager. The interview was constructive, and towards the end, they asked about my joining obligations. I had expectations from the discussion. It's been 40 days with no response from HR. It's unfortunate that when candidates email, no one responds. The status on the CBA site is still 'interview', so I'm unsure if it's in progress or rejected. It's a shame HR doesn't take ownership to respond.
