Phone screening is the preliminary stage of the interview process where recruiters speak with candidates over a call to assess basic qualifications, communication skills, and role alignment. These 15- to 30-minute calls help narrow down the pool before investing time in formal interviews.
While it’s a common practice, many still ask: What is phone screening really meant to do? It’s not just about verifying a resume. It’s about saving time, filtering candidates effectively, and ensuring the right fit moves forward to the next stage.
However, traditional methods face unprecedented challenges. With 118 candidates applying for a single job and only 20% reaching the interview stage, recruiters need smarter, faster screening solutions.
