## Summary

Seven applications, three interview slots and a depot manager who referred her neighbour's son. Score the applications against the specification, tell the manager the result, and prepare a fair interview.

## Full brief

You are the recruiting coordinator on a warehouse supervisor vacancy at a parcel carrier. Seven people applied, and their applications differ in the facts the specification covers: the duties they have done, their forklift licences, their right to work and their availability for nights. One was referred by the hiring manager. You score each application against the published requirements, write to the hiring manager with the shortlist and the reasons, book the interviews and prepare the panel. Automated checks confirm your totals and saved work; your judgement is reviewed against the standard for the role.
