Question for recruiters (and anyone else who’d like to share their thoughts)

What do you usually look for during a phone screen to decide whether a candidate should move to the next round?

Sometimes I feel like the conversation went well, but I still don’t progress further. I’m genuinely curious to understand what factors or signals make a difference during that initial call.

Your insights would be incredibly helpful — for everyone actively job searching.

Thank you so much in advance!

Perspective. I’m retiring from the service and I’ve positioned myself decently to be competitive. I have a graduate degree pursuing a doctorate, LSSBB, ScrumMaster, SPHR, and PMI-ACP. I’ve been offered two positions that are great and on the human capital team. For someone in this situation where should I be looking as commensurate with my certifications and experience?
