Does the employer have to interview every applicant who sends in a resume?
An employer has to contact any applicant who appears to meet the minimum qualifications for the position to determine if s/he is, in fact, qualified. For example, if the job requires a bachelor’s degree and two years of experience as a computer professional, and the applicant’s resume lists a degree other than that required by the employer, the employer would not have to interview the candidate. However, if an applicant’s resume lists education and experience that potentially could qualify, but it is not clear on the face of the resume, then the employer needs to question the candidate to find out if s/he is qualified for the job.
