Definition: Many companies interview candidates for employment twice, or even more often. When companies have a multiple interview process, the first round of interviews are screening interviews that are used to determine which applicants have the basic qualifications required for the job.

The candidates who pass the screening interview are selected for a second round interview. Second round interviews typically involve more detailed interview questions about the applicant, their qualifications, and their ability to perform for the company. Second round interviews may include interviewing with multiple interviewers including management, staff, executives, and other company employees.
