Step 7: Screening

• Screen curriculum vitaes.
• Refer to the job description and specific details so that the person screening the curriculum vitaes knows exactly what to look for.
• Consider those that absolutely match the criteria, but also keep a backup of candidates that are close to matching the criteria.
• Create a short list for the (phone) interviews.
• Add some information and comments to the shortlist to remember the candidates.
• Send regret letters or emails to all candidates, who are not on the shortlist.
