A résumé screen is an initial evaluation of a candidate’s résumé against the requirements of a role. After recruiting filters applicants, the hiring manager reviews the remaining résumés and decides who should receive further consideration. section 7.1.2
Before advancing a candidate, clarify the surrounding workflow:
- Determine whether the candidate must complete a technical assessment, personality assessment, or both. section 7.1.2
- Check whether external assessment companies are involved and whether company policy permits exemptions. section 7.1.2
- Review interview-loop notes when a candidate recently interviewed for a similar role. section 7.1.2
- Align decisions with company policy, existing hiring processes, and the current situation. section 7.1.2
Assessment exemption
A candidate who recently interviewed for a similar role may qualify for an online-assessment exemption. The résumé screen should therefore include checking relevant interview-loop notes and company policy before advancing the candidate. section 7.1.2
