Context
The most common applicant screening process looks something like this:
• Review of resumes/applications for basic qualifications.
• A phone interview (generally with HR).
• A screening interview with HR that may involve some initial testing, reference checking, or background screening.
• A department interview with more in-depth testing and background checking.
• Additional interviews with other stakeholders.
• A decision process.
• Offer made to selected candidate.
Questions to consider
To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community.
• Based on your own employment experiences, what seems to be the best way to screen applicants so that only qualified applicants are actually invited to be interviewed in person?
• Are background checks and reference checks good business practices? Are they legal?
• Consider an ineffective employment interview that you, a family member, or a coworker experienced. What could the interviewer have done differently to make the interview effective?
