First, they look at your application and resume. Then, there's a test to see if you have the skills needed for the job. After that, you'll have a face-to-face chat about your experience and if you'd fit in. Sometimes, they might have another interview to get more details. If you do well, you'll have a final interview. They'll also check your references. If they decide to hire you, you'll get a job offer and can negotiate. Before you start, there's a background check, and then you'll be onboarded.
