What is Resume Screening?

The process of reviewing job applications to identify candidates who meet the minimum qualifications for a role before moving them to interviews.

Why it matters in hiring

Resume Screening comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
