The stages, in order

According to candidate reports from different countries:

  • Call with talent acquisition (15–30 min): your experience and your spoken English.
  • Online test (in some countries): multiple-choice questions, coding tasks and some SQL.
  • Technical interview: basics of your language and the projects on your CV. Sometimes live coding, such as reading data from an external API or adding a feature to existing code.
  • Final interview: mixes technical and HR questions (goals, culture fit).

What it tests

  • Spoken English good enough to work with the client.
  • Basics: object-oriented programming, SQL, Git; Linux and networking for DevOps.
  • That you can explain in depth what you put on your CV.
  • Fit with the team and with how a consultancy works.

Typical questions

The kind of questions candidates report, paraphrased:

  • "Tell me about yourself and your last role."
  • "Write a SQL query that returns the customers with the most orders."
  • "Explain how inheritance works and when you would not use it."
  • "Take this code and add a function that reads data from this API."

Tips

Review every project on your CV: the technical interview leans on them heavily.

Prepare a 1 to 2 minute introduction in English and practise it out loud.

If you hear nothing for one or two weeks, write to the recruiter: several candidates report long silences.
