Candidate Screening

Candidate screening process is critical to safeguarding your most valuable resources, time and energy. TalentPort brings experience and expertise that equips us to quickly and effectively put a screening process in place that optimizes results and maximizes time and energy spent reading countless resumes that are not even remotely qualified. We look for examples of the behaviors we have determined to be critical success factors, not just experience.

Resume ranking is the first step to screening candidates. Our streamlined process enables us to quickly scan for important elements that often are missed, focusing only on job experience. We’ll keep a close eye out for important indicators that show A Player tendencies and high performer tendencies.

TalentPort will conduct initial screening calls on your behalf. Our talent consultants will quickly assess communication style, fit and the overall success factors of each candidate. With these two steps complete, we’ll then gauge salary expectations, timelines, reasons for leaving and other factors that may elevate or rule out candidates before the on-site interview stage.

Our goal in candidate screening is to surface only the right candidates and move them to the next level. You can be confident that TalentPort applies the screening best practices that will accelerate your hiring process and optimize the results. Allow us to come alongside your leaders and handle the time- and detail-intensive side of the process to lay a foundation for a successful hire.
