# Candidate Screening

Candidate Screening is the process of evaluating and filtering job applicants to determine which candidates are most qualified for a specific position. This involves reviewing resumes, conducting initial interviews, and assessing candidates’ skills, experiences, and qualifications against the job requirements. The goal of candidate screening is to create a shortlist of top candidates who meet the necessary criteria, ensuring that the hiring process is efficient and effective.
Example of Use:
A recruitment team at JRG Partners might receive hundreds of applications for a single engineering position. To streamline the hiring process, they use candidate screening to filter out applicants who do not have the required technical skills or industry experience. This allows them to focus on interviewing the most promising candidates, ultimately leading to a successful hire.
