technical interview
Skills evaluation meeting
A technical interview is a job interview that tests a candidate's practical skills and knowledge rather than just experience or personality.
In software engineering, this typically involves solving coding problems, answering questions about algorithms, or designing systems on a whiteboard.

The format varies by field: engineers might calculate load-bearing capacity, analysts might build financial models.
