[quote=Anonymous]What industry and what kind of position?

When I worked in HR for the government, we'd get 700+ applicants per job during the recession. The computer filter would knock out all but a hundred or so for not matching the key words. We, in HR, would then comb through for coherence in the actual resume, veteran's preference, examine the transcripts, etc. We'd then pass on however many qualified applicants we shortlisted to the hiring manager - anywhere from 3-15 - and then it's his/her call on how many to interview and how many rounds of interviews. They send us back a ranked list of who they want to hire and we go through - make an offer to the first choice, if s/he rejects, then call 2nd choice candidate, etc.

I've worked in HR and recruitment in a few other fields as well. Usually there's some kind of culling process to short list folks, often an early screening interview or call, and then the actual person who will be your boss if you get the job only has to interview a few folks to make the final call.
