The applicant screening process involves a crucial set of steps (see Figure 5.1). The purpose of screening applicants is to narrow your pool of finalists to those individuals who qualify for the position and who would fit in with the organization. Some applicants may lack the appropriate educational degree, adequate professional certification, or job experience.
