Step 5 - Screening Resumes/ Applications
Applicants must meet all the minimum qualifications as specified in the position description to be considered a candidate for the position. By examining qualifications, the hiring supervisor can usually categorize applicants as:
Yes/to be interviewed – Candidates who meet minimum qualifications and appear to be a good organizational
fit based on their resume/application. Schedule interviews.
No – ApplicantPro uses filter questions to automatically separate applicants who do
not meet the minimum education/experience requirements. Candidates who do not meet
the minimum qualifications should not be contacted initially. Once the final candidate
has officially accepted the position, the Human Resources department will send these
applicants a rejection notification via e-mail.
Maybe – Applications/resumes that do not clearly illustrate whether or not the applicant
meets minimum qualifications. Hold until the “yes” candidates are screened. Hiring
managers may also choose to phone screen these candidates to assist with moving them
to the “yes” or “no” categories.
