1. Deep Dive Interview with Recruiter - A 15 to 30 minute conversation focused on your career journey, past roles, accomplishments, and what you are looking for next. This helps us understand your background and alignment with the role.

2. Trial Project Assessment - At this stage, you'll get to demonstrate your skills through a sample project that uses real data or scenarios from our operations.This stage usually takes one of two forms.

3. Audit: You may be asked to review a campaign and apply the IDS method (Identify issues, Discuss your observations, and Suggest solutions).
