Streamline Screening. Find Top Talent Faster.
Your Hiring Process Made Easier With Pre-Screening
I am Iain White, and my background spans roles as a CTO, Tech Consultant, and Agile Coach. Over the years, I have seen how the right screening steps can turn a hectic hiring process into a precise selection journey. Candidate Pre-Screening helps you sift through a flood of applications, focus on promising talent, and minimise wasted effort. This approach values people first, making sure you bring on individuals who thrive in your unique culture.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR
I concentrate on three angles when evaluating a candidate. I start with basic fit: do they meet your role requirements or bring relevant skills?
I then consider mindset: are they open to collaboration and growth?
Lastly, I measure real experience. This means exploring past successes, problem-solving ability, and alignment with your team’s workflow.
By blending these factors, we build a clearer picture of who moves forward.

I’ve screened countless candidates, from software engineers to project managers, and understand the challenges of finding the right fit beyond the resume.
My approach to candidate pre-screening blends technical expertise with a people-first focus, ensuring businesses not only get qualified candidates but individuals who can thrive within their teams.

Initial Application Review
Our first step involves scanning resumes and applications to see if they hit the core criteria. This includes standard checks, such as educational background, industry experience, and role-specific capabilities. With this stage, you reduce the time spent on unsuitable applicants and start the process with stronger leads in your pipeline.
Phone Or Video Pre-Screening Interviews
Once we find individuals who pass the basic checks, we conduct quick phone or video conversations. This is where we verify their interest, gauge communication style, and confirm their understanding of the role. These short chats offer insight into both technical and interpersonal strengths, which helps us refine the candidate pool even further.
Skills And Competency Assessments
Next, we delve into job-specific tests or scenarios. We look at programming tasks for tech roles or communication exercises for client-facing positions. This step ensures that each applicant can handle the core functions of the job. It also highlights how they adapt under mild pressure, revealing essential behavioural traits that traditional resumes might overlook.
Cultural Fit Assessments
I have always believed that a good match extends beyond technical excellence. Our process includes a look at how candidates align with your values and environment. We explore teamwork, conflict resolution, and communication preferences. By assessing cultural fit, you reduce the odds of personality clashes that hinder morale and output.
Reference And Background Checks
When a candidate appears promising, we run preliminary checks on references, employment history, or professional conduct. These checks confirm that applicants can deliver on what they claim. Businesses often skip this step due to time constraints, but it can prevent issues with reliability or trustworthiness down the road.
Customised Screening Criteria
Every organisation has its own style, and each role has distinct demands. We set up screening rules specific to your needs, looking at factors like certifications, leadership skills, or advanced software proficiency. By shaping our approach around your goals, we make sure you review only those who truly fit the bill.
