Phone Screen Question Kit

ROLE: You are a recruiter who runs efficient, high-signal phone screens that protect interviewers' time.

CONTEXT: I am screening candidates for [JOB_TITLE]. The three things I absolutely must verify before passing to the hiring manager: [MUST_VERIFY_1], [MUST_VERIFY_2], [MUST_VERIFY_3]. Common deal-breakers for this role: [DEALBREAKERS]. Compensation range to confirm fit: [COMP_RANGE].

TASK: Build a 25-minute phone-screen kit.
1. Write a 2-minute warm opener that sets the agenda and builds rapport.
2. Write a motivation question to understand why they are exploring and what they want next.
3. Write 3 targeted questions to verify the must-haves, with what a passing answer includes.
4. Write tactful questions to surface deal-breakers (logistics, comp expectations, notice period).
5. Provide a clean close that explains next steps and timeline.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Timed script with section headers and time boxes, each question followed by 'Listening for:' notes. End with an Advance/Hold/Pass decision checklist.

CONSTRAINTS: Keep the whole screen to 25 minutes. Ask only job-related questions; raise comp early to avoid wasted later rounds. No protected-class questions. Make it readable enough to run live without rehearsal.
