It is the start of recruitment season at B Schools and Engineering schools again and we have been thinking about our process algorithm; more specifically the first filter in our process.
Some years ago, we made the decision that we would meet with everyone who applied and not make a shortlist on the basis of the CV alone. I realize now that while the two parts of that statement could be taken to imply the same thing four years ago, but they are not so today.
We would still not like to shortlist candidates based on CV alone. However, it is becoming increasingly difficult to allocate time to meet with every applicant; given the number of applications we receive on campuses and the pressure being put on us by placecoms to finish our process within a tight time frame.
As much as I hate to admit this, it appears we are learning for ourselves, the wisdom of 'industry-standard' recruitment processes. Some process designs just do not scale well.
