揭开招聘过程中的神秘面纱

　　Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes when you apply for a job? While the recruiting process varies by industry, company and even department, the result is the same: One person out of many receives an offer。

　　你是否想知道当你申请一份工作时，招聘幕后发生的事情？尽管招聘程序会因行业、公司、甚至部门而异，结果却是一样的：众多应聘者中只有一个会拿到聘书。

　　For those who aren't hired, understanding what happened to their candidacy along the way can be a mystery. Not every firm notifies applicants they've been rejected, and few say why. But knowing what goes on in the hiring process may give prospects the inside track for a job。

　　对于那些未被聘用的人来说，可能很难搞清楚招聘过程中自己作为应聘者出了什么问题。并非每家公司都会通知应聘者他们被拒了，告诉你被拒原因的更是少之又少。不过，明白招聘过程背后的秘密可能会使求职者在找工作时获得有利地位。

　　Many employers start filling vacancies below the executive level by using a team of recruiters or human-resources personnel to weed out applications that fail to meet a job's basic qualifications. 'They should only be removing candidates who are a clear miss,' says Peter Leech, chief marketing officer for Onlineshoes.com, a small Seattle e-commerce company。

　　很多雇主在开始招聘高管以下级别人员时，会利用一个招聘小组或人力资源团队来剔除未能满足工作基本要求的应聘者。西雅图一家小型电子商务公司首席营销长里奇(Peter Leech)说，他们应该只是排除那些明显不合格的人选。
