It typically begins with an online application, followed by a virtual or in-person assessment. The process often includes a "Virtual Job Tryout," where candidates handle simulated scenarios they might face in the role.

These interviews heavily emphasize teamwork, decision-making, and adaptability in fast-paced environments. The process concludes with a final decision based on the candidate's ability to demonstrate leadership, operational knowledge, and cultural fit.
