Application & Resume Screening You submit your application and resume. HR or a recruiter reviews your qualifications to see if they align with the job description. Initial Contact (Phone or Video Screening) A recruiter or HR representative conducts a brief call (15–30 minutes). They ask about your background, why you're interested, and your availability. Basic salary expectations and role fit may be discussed. First-Round Interview Usually with the hiring manager or a panel. Questions focus on your experience, skills, and how they apply to the role.

After I applied, the HR contacted me by email and asked about my expected salary expectation. Then she made an appointment with me for the Excel test. However, on that day, she didn't send me the email.
