Assessing submitted resumes/CVs

Once a new applicant has created a user account, enrolled in a course, and submitted their resume/CV through the Assignment module created at the beginning of the chapter, the HR manager or hiring manager, will then receive an e-mail notifying them that a new application has been received. The first step in the hiring process is to screen the applications. Typically the HR manager will go through all the resumes, see if they meet the requirements for the position, and submit a score for each one. A perfect score would mean that the resume meets all the requirements for the job. The lower the score assigned, the poorer the match. For this first screening process, a company may decide that only the applications that have a score/match of greater than 85% will move on to the next stage in the hiring process. In this section you will learn how to assess and grade an assignment.
