The first step to take in selecting process is review on application first. This step can help the company know about candied and some information about them, about their background, work experience. This way we can quickly go through who we want to know more about it and whether the candied meet our requirement for the job. It save our time for selecting process, if someone does not meet the requirement we can just pass them and move on.

What kind of person they are and things like that to determine if the applicant is a good fit or not.
