INTERVIEWS
SCHEDULING INTERVIEWSAfter reviewing the applications in relation to your selection criteria, you may select applicants for in-person interviews. The following are the recommended guidelines. Any deviation from these guidelines should be discussed in advance with the UMD Department of Human Resources. You may choose to increase these numbers:
Number of Applicants
Number to Interview
Less than 30 certified applicants
4 or more
31-60
6 or more
60-100
at least 10%
100 and over
10
As the selection process goes on, it may become evident that there are two or three applicants who are better matched to the job than others. A second or third round of interviews to obtain additional information may be appropriate.
Finding the best match between your needs and the candidate's skills and abilities is the goal. You may need to review the job description that you started out with and even the initial questions you posed when you decided to post the position.
