A Hiring Process with No Margin of Error

Today a majority of companies use the Internet to hire new employees. Some have webform applications, where prospective candidates can input their personal PR and other comments. Required qualifications can be simplified by respective checkboxes.

But every company's hiring process is different. The conditions differ, including the number of new employees to be hired as well as the type of industry or position. The below is a workflow sample for a Japanese company that expects 500 applications and wants to hire 20 new graduates. At this company, the entry data of the top 100 candidates are reviewed by each department head, so that the most eligible candidates don't get bunched together during the first group interview. (This means 400 applicants are sent rejection letters after the initial paper screening.)
