**THE PROCESS**

Long interview processes are stressful and boring, and that is not us

We want to make sure that everything runs smoothly.

So here you will have three stage interviews:
1- A chat with one of our great recruiters.
2- A zoom chat with one of our QA colleagues where they will ask you detailed questions about QA knowledge and your experience
3- A Face to Face interview (either in our office or via Zoom). During this interview, we will dig even deeper, and you will have a technical task to do.

**But don't worry; everything will be explained to you step by step by your recruiter.**
- Here is 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

**DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION**:
Diversity and inclusion are key to a great workplace, and Adaptive is better when it's more representative of the world around us. We want everyone to feel comfortable bringing their whole
