Score every phone screen on five fixed dimensions with anchored 1–5 ratings, then get a one-page AI report per candidate so hiring decisions stay consistent.
Quick answer
Phone screens feel decisive and remember nothing — five fixed dimensions with anchored 1–5 ratings, pay-band and work-authorisation checks, and a one-page AI report that makes the pipeline comparable.
Ten-minute calls blur together by candidate five. This scorecard fixes what to ask and how to rate it — communication, motivation fit, salary band, location and permit, notice period — then turns the completed form into a one-page AI report each recruiter can stand behind in the hiring meeting.
