Summary

Project Overview: We're a fast-moving recruiting team and we need a sharp phone screener to be the first human voice candidates hear. You'll run structured phone screens across a wide range of roles and industries - engineering, sales, ops, and more - and make a fast, clean call on whether each candidate moves forward. You're not sourcing and you're not closing. You're qualifying. Your job is to make sure our recruiters only spend time on candidates worth it. What You'll Do - Run scheduled phone screens against a scorecard we provide for each role - Confirm the essentials: experience, must-have skills, comp expectations, location/work authorization, availability, and notice period - Probe just deep enough to verify what's on the resume - real examples, not rehearsed answers - Write a tight summary per candidate: advance / hold / pass, key strengths, gaps, comp, and any flags What We're Looking For: - Experience in screening, recruiting coordination, sales qualification, or high-volume phone work - Comfort screening for roles you're not an expert in - you follow the scorecard and ask sharp questions, you don't need to be a domain expert - Strong phone presence: friendly, neutral, professional, no rambling - Clear, fast written notes - Reliable internet and a quiet space You're a Fit If: - You can hold a natural conversation and still make a clean yes/no call - You've worked on technical software engineering roles before - You move quickly without getting sloppy
