interview processes
Candidate assessment stages
Interview processes are the structured steps organizations use to evaluate job candidates—typically including application screening, phone calls, in-person meetings, and assessments.
The term often carries a note of weariness about corporate bureaucracy: I'm three rounds into their interview process and still haven't met my potential manager.
Companies may describe elaborate interview processes as thorough; candidates often find them exhausting.
