CV Shortlisting Checklist

Shortlisting CVs is a critical phase in the hiring process, and it can become quite laborious.

An overly broad or indiscriminate selection not only dilutes the quality of our candidate pool but also leads to an inefficient use of our time and resources.

It is imperative therefore that only the most suitable CVs are considered, paving the way for meaningful engagement with potential candidates. The essence of effective CV shortlisting lies in its precision.

Each role has its unique demands, and our screening process should reflect that specificity. This encompasses recognising both necessary and preferred requirements, which aid us in filtering CVs more efficiently and identifying key skills and experiences that are crucial for the job.

Refining the CV shortlisting process is not just about efficiency; it’s about;

a) Creating a foundation for successful recruitment and fostering a positive
experience for potential employees

b) Significantly reduce the volume of CVs that require further scrutiny, allowing us to
focus on those candidates who truly have the potential to excel in the roles we offer.
