Check in the dashboard of JobsDataBase, our in-house enterprise solution for publishing job advertisements and getting incoming job applications. Response is good so far for there are over 89 applicants have sent in their CVs.

Number of incoming CVs hits 100. I put aside other tasks and start screening the CVs. CVs which show a mismatch on hygiene factors (e.g. minimum years of relevant experience, salary exception) will be screened out. Finally there are 13 applicants being relevant and suitable. I put down my remarks on the shortlisted CVs and contact the hiring manager for a time to walk through the shortlisted candidates with him.

Lunch J(' o ')J " Enjoy a simple lunch at the sushi bar! The tofu is so soft and yummy "

Meet with the hiring manager and discuss the shortlisted candidates. He picks his 5 most favorite CVs. In additional to the 5, I suggest to include one more candidate who did not graduated overseas as required but he does process relevant experience. Hiring manager agree with me hence 6 candidates are shortlisted for the position.
15:00
Phone call the 6 candidates one by one. Open the dialogue in English giving candidates an introduction of our company and who I am. Give them 15 minutes to talk about their career exposure in the past and their career aspirations for the future. Close the dialogue by giving a Q & A session. Mark and rank candidates in terms of their skills on language, organisation, presentation, and their characters.
17:30
Line up interviews with candidates and hiring managers. Reserve meeting rooms for interviews.
18:00
Leave the office
