resume screening

Candidate document review

Resume screening is the process of reviewing job applications to identify qualified candidates, typically the first filter in hiring.

Recruiters scan for relevant experience, skills, and credentials, often spending only seconds per resume.

Increasingly automated: The ATS handles initial resume screening before human review.

Also called CV screening in British English.
