CarDekho Group

1. Online application and resume screening

Candidates typically apply through Jobaaj or the company careers page, and recruiters shortlist profiles based on relevant technology, sales, or automotive industry experience. Profiles showing measurable impact in past roles or projects are usually prioritised.

2. Recruiter screening call

A short phone or video call typically covers the candidate's background, motivation, and basic fit for the role and team. Recruiters also gauge communication skills and clarity on career goals during this call.

3. Technical or functional interview

For technology roles, an engineer evaluates coding and problem-solving skills; for business roles, a hiring manager tests domain knowledge and past achievements. Candidates are typically expected to walk through real examples in depth.

4. Case study or assignment

Product, marketing, and analytics roles may include a take-home case study or presentation assessing structured thinking and data interpretation. Reviewers look for a clear framework and realistic recommendations rather than a perfect answer.

5. Managerial round

A senior manager assesses ownership, adaptability, and fit with CarDekho Group's fast-paced, growth-oriented culture. This round also explores how candidates prioritise tasks under shifting business priorities.

6. HR interview and offer

The final HR round covers compensation, location, and joining timelines, followed by an offer letter and onboarding. HR also verifies documents and confirms the joining date before onboarding begins.

CarDekho Group's interview process typically has three to five rounds depending on the function, with technology roles including a stronger coding component and business roles focusing more on structured, data-driven thinking.

Round 1: Screening call

A recruiter conducts a 15-20 minute call to review your background, understand your interest in the automotive or internet industry, and confirm basic fit for the role. Clear articulation of past achievements helps at this stage.

• Walkthrough of your resume and relevant projects
• Understanding of CarDekho Group's product ecosystem

Round 2: Technical or functional interview

Engineers face coding and system design questions, while business roles are tested on domain knowledge, over a 30-45 minute discussion relevant to the role. Interviewers also probe how candidates approach ambiguous, real-world problems.

• Data structures and algorithms for technology roles
• Handling a difficult customer or dealership partner scenario

Round 3: Case study or assignment (select roles)

Product, analytics, and marketing candidates may work through a short case study, such as improving conversion on a car listing page. Presenting the case with clear assumptions and data-backed reasoning matters more than reaching one correct answer.

• Improving user engagement on a car search feature
• Analysing a drop in leads for a used-car segment

Round 4: HR interview

The final round covers compensation, location, and joining formalities, typically lasting 20-30 minutes. HR also discusses growth opportunities and confirms documentation before finalising the offer.

• Salary expectations and current notice period
• Comfort with a fast-paced, target-driven environment
