We want to make sure that everything runs smoothly.
So here you will have three stage interviews:

But don’t worry; everything will be explained to you step by step by your recruiter.
A little tip for you during those stages:
Collaboration is massively important to us, so don't hesitate to share your thoughts, ask questions, ask for help if needed, etc
