The resume is the summary of the applicant’s capabilities, qualities and educational and employment background. It is important that you review his credentials very well. The resume is usually the reference used to determine who among the applicants are worth the job.

Depending on the position that is open, an exam may be relevant in the application process. Through the exam, you can have a better assessment on the applicant’s skills and potentials even his ability to follow instructions and his problem solving techniques.

Then finally, an interview should be conducted for you to personally see his qualities. By talking to your applicant, you can clarify and ask him further about the things written in his resume and the results of his exam or anything that may be significant to you. You can also ask his opinion about certain situations that may enable you to know the type of person he is specifically the ways he responds to certain situations.
