Traditional prescreening methods, like keyword filtering on resumes, can inadvertently exclude qualified candidates. You’re likely to miss out on candidates who may not have the exact keywords on their resumes but bring valuable skills and experiences to the table. This highlights the need for you to rethink your prescreening strategies. Consider incorporating skills-based assessments or a video interview platform to better understand a candidate’s qualifications and cultural fit before the formal interview stage.
