Unless the rest of the world's recruiting practices are very different from telecoms, you won't get on an interview short list with getting through a screening phone call as so many people flat out lie about their experience and skills.
Our HR team blanks out the name of the applicants - for the hiring managers. So presumably HR do all the checks, but the actual interviewers do not know the names. Which means that we do not know anything about them and we can short list without any prejudice.
