Abstract
This paper explores two research questions. What is the relative importance of academic criteria, work experience, demographic characteristics, and extracurricular activities on the decision to select applicants for job interviews in a college placement setting? Second, does the relative importance of criteria change across job types? Using a sample of 19 recruiters who screened applicants for campus interviews at a large state university, the study found that academic criteria were the most important screening criteria. However, there was great variance in the use of criteria across 19 recruiters. Job type accounted for some of this variance in relation to both academic criteria and demographic criteria.
