As for the Product Tour -- we'll try to "light" it up a little bit, so it will stand out on the page. Thanks for the advice!
As for the screening -- we've been talking to many recruiters, and usually they used the term "screening" as a process before the initial and face-to-face interviews. This is the step when it's only required to separate unqualified candidates from others. People just tend to submit resume even if they clearly are not a fit (by different research papers it states that more than 80% meet less than half of job requirements).
You may be referring to "criminal/drug screening" or "pre-employment screening" processes, which are more like verifying the information provided by the candidate.
But it's good you brought it to our attention -- we'll figure out how to put some "hint" about what we are actually mean by "screening" on Strawlink.
