Pawing through mountains of resumes can be overwhelming, so how you do make such a mammoth task more manageable?
Using a structured approach to scoring applications has been found to be a very effective approach in recruitment, using biodata based on a set of five to seven predetermined criteria.
Your stakeholders need to decide which real-world outcomes are most relevant to the role, so you can then proceed to rank – and eliminate – applicants based on how evidence the show of this skill or result.
This approach allows you to quickly and objectively narrow down your pool of applicants, as well as prioritise your efforts.
