Screening and Short-listing

What is it and why is it important?

Once an application comes through, it needs to be swiftly screened, reviewed and selected/rejected based on various criteria in order to qualify it and potentially move it to the interview step. When there are thousands of applications per vacancy, screening every single one to identify the best-fit candidates is important if recruiters want to focus on the right people for the job. Otherwise they are just picking from a sample of candidates and are likely closing the doors to a large number of qualified individuals.  Unfortunately, qualitatively screening big volumes of applications is slow and unmanageable without a good recruitment management solution.
