# Screening

## Content
Screening is the process of evaluating candidates’ qualifications and suitability for a job, typically conducted early in the recruitment process. It involves reviewing resumes, cover letters, and application forms to identify candidates who meet the minimum requirements for the position. Screening may also include initial phone or video interviews, skills assessments, and background checks.

The goal of screening is to narrow down the pool of applicants to a shortlist of qualified candidates who will move forward to more in-depth interviews and assessments. Effective screening helps ensure that only the most suitable candidates are considered, saving time and resources for both the employer and the candidates. Organizations use various tools and technologies, such as applicant tracking systems (ATS) and pre-employment testing platforms, to streamline and automate the screening process, enhancing efficiency and accuracy.
