I agree with what you're saying here:

> I would like a short phone call to ask some questions and get a feel for the company

I've had some places do behavioral first and others do coding first. I think I'm more onboard with behavioral first because communication a lot of times is more important than raw technical skill. Everyone can save time if you can suss out early on that the person is a bad communicator or bad fit. And generally you can spend time in this interview asking questions about the company.

That’s not behavioral, it’s an initial screen for fit. It. Makes the relationship at least a bit more balanced from a time investment perspective.

It seems most places do this though.
