screening call
Initial phone evaluation
A screening call is a brief phone conversation, typically with a recruiter or HR representative, to assess whether a job candidate merits a full interview.
It covers basic qualifications, salary expectations, and availability before investing more time: I have a screening call with their talent team on Tuesday.
The term also applies to calls that filter or verify before connecting to someone else.
