Feel free to ask questions about the role you're discussing, the interview process, and the next steps. It's also great to learn how to prepare if you move forward and to ask about the company culture.

I think some good follow-up question to show your interest are :
How would you describe your management style?
What is your expectation from a potential employee? What are some soft skills that you prefer a potential employee to have?
Anything about the team (depending on what your actual interests are), are people in the team more technical, are people in the team encouraged to pursue professional development beyond their jobs (training opportunities, etc.)
What are the values of the company?
Does the company encourage lateral moves between departments?
How long do you think it takes for a new employee to become proficient in this role?
Feel free to ask anything that actually interests you, it's always nice when the candidate shows interest.

Hey Diany, this is a great question, and believe it or not, asking the right questions can give you a lot of information about the next steps in the interview process as well:
Asking about the size of the team
Current projects they are working on
What would be the next round focus: technical, soft skills
Insights from the hiring managers that Talent partners can share related to the "perfect fit"
Also important for many roles if not all, is relationship building and communication, so you can ask talent partner´s opinion on:
What do you think about the company´s culture
What do you like about your position and working at X company in general
If for you is important to have growth opportunities, the questions related to this are also important:
How does X company help the development of his employees
Are there anual performance reviews
I hope it helps! If you have any questions, please let me know, happy to help!

Research recent updates or social media posts about the company. Bring up something in the interview that you researched and found interesting - this will demonstrate your investment in the company/preparing for an interview.
Ask what career progression looks like in the company/the role.
Ask what challenges can be expected.

Hi Diany,
There are so many great questions above. As a recruiter, I want to share a couple of my favorite questions candidates ask.
-Based on my experience and the information I've shared, how do you feel my skillset aligns with the opening you are looking to fill?
-Can you share with me with the onboarding plan and what the expectations would be from the person in this role over the first 90 days?
-What do you love about the company that keeps you coming to work every day?
I hope these questions help in landing the job!
