A screening interview is a type of job interview that is conducted to determine if the applicant has the qualifications needed to do the job for which the company is hiring. A screening interview is typically the first interview in the hiring process if the company does not start with open interviews where multiple candidates are screened at an open hiring event. Employers use phone interviews to identify and recruit candidates for employment. Phone interviews are often used to narrow the pool of applicants who will be invited for in-person interviews. For remote jobs, interviewing by phone, Skype, or video may be how you get hired.

Sat down with HR and the hunting manager and had a one on one interview. It lasted about an hour and we talked mainly about my hunting background and experience. Went through several questions trying to get a feel for my knowledge of products and where I was strong in. Also asked me several typical interview questions about obstacles you have had to overcome.
