The process involved some emails and phone calls, followed by a Teams interview and an in-person meeting. References and a background check were also part of it. It was a pretty open and clear process. We talked about salary, agreed on a figure, and then I got the job offer. The recruiter, Gabby, was great, as were Nicole and Alisha. Looking forward to joining Potbelly.
