Our interview process is sequential, and should last between 1 to 3 weeks. Each stage leads to either

• A detailed feedback in case we decide not to move forward with your application

• A move to the next interview process stage

Interview process details:

1. HR screen call - Confirming expectations from each side ~ 45 minutes

2. Case study - Openly discuss and solve a case study similar to the job expectation ~ 1 hour

3. Meet the client ~ 30-60 minutes

If the 2nd stage is conclusive, we will arrange a meeting with the client, as they will have the final word for this position given it is tailored for their needs.
