The client will conduct a technical interview by a meeting in person and/or by online video call in which the candidate will talk about their skills, experiences, career objectives, etc. *In some cases, if it is an HR/business opening and depending on the client's requirements and other factors, one of our recruiters will conduct the technical interview with you.
