About the Recruitment Process Selection is conducted in two stages. The first selection is made by recruiters in the HR department, who will invite candidates for a telephone interview. After the application deadline, the recruiting manager will conduct a second selection of applicants and invite them for an interview at the clinic. We use competency-based interviews, which means your answers should be based on actual situations. It is important that you describe concrete situations as specifically as possible and avoid generalizing answers – this helps us understand the situation, why you acted as you did, and what the outcome was.
