What Is Screening Interview?
A screening interview is an early, usually short call to check basic fit before deeper interviews. A recruiter often runs it to confirm your background, interest, and salary range.

Why Screening Interview Matters
The screening call decides whether you move forward, so first impressions count. Having clear answers on your experience, availability, and expectations keeps you in the running. It is also your chance to learn more about the role before investing more time.
Example
A recruiter calls for 20 minutes to confirm your current role, why you are looking, and your salary range. You pass and get booked for a longer interview with the hiring manager.
