First, there was a 30-minute phone call with a recruiter. She asked some general questions and explained the role. Next, there were two tests, one cognitive and one behavioural, which were quite tricky. Next, there was an interview with the hiring manager. I had the feeling that they had already found someone for the job as I was barely asked any questions.
