Recruiter Screening Questionnaire: Recruiter screening should test the first strong claim in the profile: they connect sourcing, screening, submission quality, and client feedback. It should also expose the risk that matters most before submission: they measure effort but not outcomes.
When to use it
Recruiter screening should test the first strong claim in the profile: they connect sourcing, screening, submission quality, and client feedback. It should also expose the risk that matters most before submission: they measure effort but not outcomes. Run it when sourcing, screening, submissions, client communication, pipeline discipline must be proven before the candidate reaches a client conversation.
The recruiter resume looks relevant, but the recruiter still needs a recent example before submission.
The client needs clarity on sourcing, screening, submissions, client communication, pipeline discipline before deciding whether to interview.
Recruiter candidates need this screen when they submit candidates without evidence or positioning.
Pre-call checks
Recruiter proof should include the example, metric, customer situation, or workflow that proves sourcing, screening, submissions, client communication, pipeline discipline. Clarify this first so the rest of the recruiter call is based on evidence instead of assumptions.
