For a large organization such as Ohio State University, applicants may encounter role-specific screening questions, skills assessments, or supplemental questionnaires depending on the position, particularly for clinical, technical, or specialized administrative roles. The process may include multiple stages, such as recruiter screening, hiring manager interviews, and possibly panel or departmental interviews.
