Write a phone screen script. Role: [ROLE]. Must-know items (availability, pay expectations, location, key skills): [MUST_KNOW]. Company pitch points: [PITCH_POINTS].

Produce a 20-minute script with timings: introduction and process (2 minutes: who I am, how long, what happens next); candidate's story (4 minutes: a question that asks about their current work and why they are interested); two skill questions with what to listen for; logistics (availability, notice, location, pay expectations asked consistently and respectfully); candidate questions (3 minutes); and closing with timeline.

Include a note sheet: Question | Answer summary | Score (0 to 2) | Follow-up. Add rules: do not ask about age, family, health, or current pay where local law forbids it [VERIFY in [JURISDICTION]], and keep notes factual. Provide a decision guide (advance, hold, decline) and a 60-word decline message. Include a short list of common red flags that are really just nerves, to avoid unfair judgments.

This is a draft for discussion and must not be taken as legal or HR advice. Ask an HR professional or employment lawyer with knowledge of [JURISDICTION] to verify legal, contractual and policy points before use.
