Jay – aren’t you concerned that this method puts potentially fantastic candidates in the position of having to jump through hoops, and if they aren’t able to do so you miss out on the best person for the job? It seems to me that you may as well “weed out” candidates by cutting the pile of CVs in half and throwing them away at random, as I can’t see how a candidate’s ability to meet short-term demands on their time (especially if they’re currently working) is in any way a reflection of whether or not they are right for the position.

That is, we are interested in you, we are taking interviews from date x to date y, can you make it in? We want a second interview, we are taking interviews from date x to date y, are you available? Those who can’t make the deadlines weed themselves out. Instead of paralysis by analysis or having the unfilled position stuck in HR hell, the field of candidates is narrowed considerably and decision can be made more quickly.
