Recruiter here- deep breath! We don't bite. :)
Recruiter calls are general in nature, we're looking to find out about your background, projects you've worked on, and what you're interested in. My most general screening question is "Tell me about your favorite project, what it was, what you were responsible for, and what the results were". I have a few more general ones but that's the one that will tell me the most if you're a fit for the role.
Some large companies can have very prescribed pre-screens (what recruiters call the first candidate call) and may ask some scripted tech questions.
If you're still reading here's what we generally ask:
General background/ projects
Most comfortable tech stack
Want to do
Location
Salary expectations
Any Visa requirements
Good Luck!
