You are only EIGHT QUESTIONS away from separating qualified applicants from all the rest.
The old way of prescreening resumés was done either the hard way or the not-so-hard way.
The hard way requires someone to actually read the cover letter and the resume, each and every one. Depending of the job and the experience of the potential candidate, this could entail quite a bit of time. The greater the number of resumés, the amount of time goes up, up, and up as does the cost. And some qualified candidates may be excluded. Even if the job falls to a clerical employee, the cost could be well into the thousands of dollars before you conduct even one interview.
Once a resumé is deemed to have the required qualifications, someone then needs to call the candidate to be sure they really have the experience and qualifications as listed.
The not-so-hard way requires having purchased expensive software to look for keywords within the resumé. Hopefully, your potential candidate has listed the particular skill -- and spelled it the same way as the software.
This is the same as what the search site does before sending out the resumé blasts. The difference is, it’s looking for keywords and eliminates resumés without anyone analyzing them. You never get an opportunity to review the rejected candidates.
And what if you decide to interview those applicants who might have less experience than you originally demanded? You have to start the whole process over again because they have been deemed “unqualified” and their resumé have been discarded.
We’ve put an end to all that. The ONLY candidates who are given your e-mail address to submit a resume are those who have a resumé with the qualifications you’re seeking. And, if you would like to find out if they are suitable for the position, you can have them go through an advanced screening. In the end, if none of the candidates were suitable, you will still have access to everyone who responded to your job posting. We can even re-score the applications and provide you with a list of second level candidates.
Our system works with the major job boards, allowing you to advertise an opening in several Internet sites without drowning in resumés from unqualified applicants. And, because it requires interaction from the candidate, those systems who “blast” resumés won’t be able to fill up your inbox
