Does every applicant that submit his/her resume need to be interviewed by the employer?
Applicants that appear to meet the minimum requirements for the position need to be contacted in order to determine if he/she in fact is qualified. For example, if the position is for a Programmer Analyst requiring a Bachelor’s degree and one year of experience, and the person applying for the position does not have a Bachelor’s degree, or has a Bachelor’s degree in an unrelated field, that person would not need to be contacted. However, if it is unclear by viewing the resume whether the candidate may qualify or not, that person must be contacted to determine if he/she qualifies for the position. Detailed records should be kept of all contact with applicants, such as phone logs and the reasons the person didn’t qualify, if applicable.
