Step 4: Reviewing & Screening Applicants

Review of applications should be conducted by individual committee members as they are

submitted. The committee as a whole should meet immediately after the closing/review date to
select top candidates.

Applicant List
The Hiring Manager or Hiring Manager Assistant is charged with maintaining the Applicant Log
in YourFuture. A person who has been nominated or who was listed in a professional registry
becomes an applicant only after the individual submits an online application. As the search
proceeds, the statuses should be updated as appropriate.
An easy way to develop a tracking log is, from the list of open postings, click on "Get Reports
List" next to the position. Choose "Applicant List" and hit "Generate Report." Highlight the
entire report, go into Excel to cell A1 and paste the contents. You can format the spreadsheet,
add columns, etc.
General guidelines:
Send a letter to each applicant acknowledging the application upon receipt of materials. Sample.
Outline the planned time frame for review of applications, interviews, and decision. Enclose
additional information about the University (if appropriate).

Keep all applications in active status until all search committee members have reviewed them.
When the committee has determined which applicants do not meet the minimum requirements in
the advertisement, the status should be changed to an appropriate status, such as HR/Dept
determined applicant did not meet min quals send email now. The committee may choose to
send those applicants a letter expressing appreciation for their interest in the position at BHSU and
informing them they are no longer under consideration for the position.

Any applicant at Special Handling who meets minimum qualifications must receive an initial
interview.

Internet search engines, social networking sites, blogs, and other internet sites have become
fertile grounds for recruitment search. On the surface, the web may appear to be a good resource
for screening and verification purposes. However, the greatest concern is that hiring managers
consider the information theyve obtained from the web as factual, and that they may make hiring
decisions based on unverified and un-vetted data. Sites can reveal all sorts of things that could
compromise compliance with existing employments laws, including information on medical
conditions, religious beliefs, sexual preference, and other information that employers should not
use a part of a hiring decision. Use of internet-based information that is incomplete or inaccurate
can lead to noncompliance with consumer privacy laws and unintentional discrimination. Hiring
managers and search committees are invited to consult with Human Resources on any
questions about using the internet for screening purposes.
