What is the best way to pre-screen tenants?

What is the best way to pre-screen tenants? Via email? phone? Voicemail? Or creating a webform for them to fill out?

@Fili Aguirre I am a big fan of doing everything virtually. I normally do all of the initial tenant correspondence via text or email, and for screening we switch to email since we will need attachments like pay stubs, W2's, etc. I screen tenants often since I manage our 114 units here in Chicago.
