For a single position and 500 resumes presented, how much time are you willing to allocate per applicant on the first and second pass through the stack?
Would you be throwing out a lot of the potential good hires with only a minute looking at a resume? And likewise, are you sure you’re not getting false positives of poorly qualified candidates with good resumes in only a minute of looking at the resume?
This is what the GP is lamenting.
At 500 minutes of time, this is a solid day of non stop resume reading.
