Interview
One phone screen. I had applied long time back, recruiter called me to know my strengths and skill set. Then passed onto another recruiter who took some time to set up a phone screen. It was half an hour phone screen. Waited for a day, then inquired. Got the ding mail.
Given that I had other companies who were interested in me. I had to make time for the phone screening by de-prioritizing other companies . Unless they pursue you strongly dont bother wasting time.
