Recruiter screen in 30 minutes: the script Reddit wishes it had

2026-06-12 · 4 min read

The recruiter screen is not technical—it is **fit, motivation, and logistics**. Reddit prep threads over-index on LeetCode and under-index on this call.

**Prep checklist** - 60-second "why this role / why now" story. - Comp range aligned to market. - Clear timeline and visa status if relevant. - Two questions about team and process.

**Resume alignment** Every claim on page one should be expandable in 2 sentences. If you tailored honestly, this call is easy. If you keyword-stuffed, this is where it breaks.
