I was hired for this contract work after going through five rounds of interviews, which honestly felt like too many if you're really on top of your game. They had me come back because some people who were supposed to interview me weren't available for the earlier sessions. Because the scheduling wasn't great, they ended up asking me the same questions a few times, which was fine by me. I just answered them and added any extra info I could think of for the new interviewers.

They use an online tool to pull out important resume info, leaving out extra stuff that might bias the first look. First up is the HR check to see if folks meet the basic job needs. Internal people get priority, which is a perk of working there. Hiring managers have a lot of freedom in how they hire, so there's no set rule on who has to be part of the final decision.

The recruiting and interview process was very professional. They initially stated they didn't have internal candidates, but I suspect the role may have gone to someone internal, though I'm not certain.
