What is the interview process of the company?

Some enterprises only have one or two rounds of interviews, and some will arrange four or five rounds of interviews.

1, initial test

HR is responsible for recruiting personnel. After their resumes are screened, they will generally be shown to the employing department, and then it is determined that the applicants can be notified at the first time. Some enterprises will arrange a written test in the initial test, and those who fail the written test will pass directly and lose the opportunity of the initial test.

The human resources department is generally responsible for the preliminary examination, and most of them are interviewed by recruiters or hiring supervisors. In this link, HR is mainly responsible for verifying the basic information of the interviewer (such as academic background, work background, work content, etc.). ), judge whether personal qualities meet the job requirements, and eliminate obviously unsuitable personnel. Therefore, in some formal companies, HR has the right to directly reject candidates during the interview, because you may not have a chance to pass the resume screening or be rejected during the initial review of HR, and you will never enter the second interview.

However, the initial test of some enterprises is conducted by the employing department, and HR only plays the role of resume screening and notification arrangement in the initial test.

2. Second interview

After passing the initial HR test, it will be handed over to the department for a second interview. There are generally two situations for interviewers in the second interview. One is that the employing department (department manager) interviews alone, and the other is that the HR manager and the department manager interview together, so sometimes you find several people sitting opposite, so you should have this judgment. In a standardized company, during the interview process, the interview evaluation points are divided between the employing department and the HR department. Generally, the employing department pays more attention to your professional knowledge and skills, while HR pays more attention to your soft skills, such as teamwork, expression and communication, logical thinking, understanding and reaction, motivation and stability.

In this link, the opinions of the employing department are dominant, but it does not mean that HR is not important. My previous company clearly stipulated that both the employing department and HR have the right to reject a person in any interview session, and they can only enter the latter session after reaching an agreement.

3. Final test

If you successfully pass the second interview, congratulations, you have an 80% chance to get the offer. The final exam will generally be arranged in more important positions, usually interviewed by the vice president or supervisor of the employing department. If you get the approval of the department manager and HR in the second interview, then this link is basically a formality. Leaders at this level pay more attention to your self-motivation, development potential and personality.

In short, according to the size of the company, the status of HR, the development stage of the company, etc. The design of the interview session will be different. For entrepreneurial companies, the employing department can determine the candidates on one side, while for some large companies, the interview process is naturally longer, and four or five rounds of interviews are also possible.
