Stage 4: Response
Here, the specialist collects the resumes of the candidates who responded. To simplify this process and attract the necessary candidates, you should work on the resume submission form. It should be easy to fill out from a computer, a smartphone, a website, and an application. Filling out the form should take no more than 10 minutes. It is necessary to check the settings for automatic responses to responses and the functionality of the application collection. You can check the correctness of these tools by test submitting a resume from a smartphone. If everything turned out to be convenient and understandable, then everything is working correctly.
At this stage, the percentage of moj database people who sent a resume from the total number of views is estimated, as well as the approximate ratio of the number of responses to the number of views of the vacancy.
Stage 5: Initial assessment of candidates
At this point, the HR specialist evaluates the candidates' CVs and selects those suitable for further communication. As a rule, at this stage, a potential applicant is already identified. The specialist sorts the CVs, rejects irrelevant ones and makes a preliminary list of the most suitable candidates for the position and those who have shown activity and contacted on their own.

Active applicants are usually more motivated and more loyal than those who are among the leaders in the general list. It is important to respond to all candidates from this list. At this stage of the recruitment funnel, an automatic resume check can be used. However, this method is unreliable, since the program often rejects suitable candidates who could have made it to the top contenders for the position. For this reason, it is better to select applicants manually.
