What is a screened candidate?
Screening is the process of sorting candidates by examining in detail their CVs and finding the answers to additional questions, usually concerning their availability and eligibility to work in the UK. The objective is to locate the most qualified candidates for an open job. The process is meant to eliminate a number of them, to reduce the options to a more operational number. It usually takes place before inviting candidates for interviews.
How honest should I be throughout my screening process?
Think of it this way, whatever you say will be proven on a later stage. Whether it is on a later stage of the hiring process or after you have been hired, if there is something that you have stated that you can do, but you can’t, will surely create problems. At best, it will turn to be a waste of your time as well as of the hiring manager’s time. So, just keep it real! You are more than welcome to express your belief in dealing with a problem or employing a specific skill, but never overpromise.
