Keep in mind in today's job market, and given Internet methods of advertising positions, the problem isn't in finding qualified people -- the problem is in whittling down the couple thousand or so resumes you get to a manageable pile. You can afford to reject some qualified applicants in that process because there are always more looking. Again, this is one of the reasons credit scoring is becoming so popular -- it's an almost automatic way to narrow down the pile. Another method in common use right now is to throw out applications from anyone who's currently unemployed, and only look at ones who already have a position and are looking to change jobs.
