This process typically involves reviewing resumes, conducting phone interviews, and assessing skills, experience, and qualifications against the job requirements. Screening may also include background checks, reference checks, and psychometric testing to ensure the candidate’s suitability for the role. The goal of the screening process is to narrow down the candidate pool to those who are the best fit for the position, helping streamline the interview process and improve hiring efficiency.
