Recruitment and Interviewing
4. Drawing Up a Shortlist
4.1 Tell applicants to apply in a way that will give you the information you need.

4.2 Select the most promising applicants.
- Rank them in order, starting with the best.
- Decide how many are worth interviewing and send polite rejection letters to the rest.
4.3 Arrange a time and place to interview the selected applicants.
- Interview as soon as possible, in small batches. This makes it easier to compare.
