How do you sort out candidates from the application pile.
I have an effective but not very fair way. The goal is to collect 10 candidates with least time.
I start with University, E.g. if I'm in Houston I would first just select everyone graduating University of Texas plus top tier like Stanford. I'm in a city with our own good University.
If that pile is too small I would add a few universities like University of Florida or something.
Then I will read the 5-20 CV and chose for interview.
Using the University filter probably misses some good candidates but I chose speed over fairness. I also know that our local university have pen and paper exams without AI involved.
