applicant screening

Applicant screening is the process employers use to evaluate job candidates and identify those most suitable for a position. It typically involves reviewing resumes, cover letters, and application forms to assess skills, experience, and qualifications. Employers may also conduct interviews, background checks, and reference verifications. The goal is to efficiently narrow down a large pool of applicants to a manageable number of well-qualified candidates who meet the job requirements, helping ensure the best fit for the role and organization.
