I've no idea but it's a bad idea. I personally don't really care what the company does (as long as it's ethical). I care about their tech stack, processes and how they ship the product. I often find that the screening call is actually a little off-putting - I've had several internal recruiters completely dissuade me from continuing the conversation based off the screening call.
In general, tech recruitment needs a total overhaul starting with the companies themselves. It's one of the only industries in the world in which people completely dismiss a CV and references or examples of work in favour of unrepresentative testing methods.
I can't agree more. It's interesting how the views change as someone progresses up the management ladder - the higher up they are the fluffier their SWE job ads get. I guess that's where team builders come in to keep them in check.
This is probably role-dependent, but what is your top filter for candidates? What do you look for first in their CV/profile? Is it their stack, experience, education, something else?

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Do you have a theory why recruiters do it the other way around?
It is literally the inverse of what you listed: 4-3-2(bar the $$$)-1 followed by a counter-productive screening call.
