Differentiating Applicants from Job Seekers
The resources required to determine which applicants are true candidates for a job often comprise the greatest cost
associated with hiring a new employee. Reviewing hundreds of resumes and applications just to identify the few candidates
that best fit the requirements of the position is inefficient at best. Internet screening technology can provide a cost
effective solution for quickly screening applicants to determine those that are candidates and those that are merely job seekers.
By implementing an online screening process that utilizes pre-screening questions that identify applicants that meet the
critical job requirements, an employer can eliminate the need to invest human capital in reviewing resumes and applications to
find qualified job candidates. For example, if a job requires a 4-year college degree, a prescreening question would ask the
job seekers if they have such a degree. If the job seekers do not have the required degree, they could immediately be
eliminated from further consideration. This pre-screening process is automated, and available through the use of online
HR technology.
