HR starts with a screening process using a template to filter candidates who meet the minimum requirements for the librarian role. Then, a selection of librarians, including the library director, reviews these candidates to decide who is worth a phone interview. The phone interview is as crucial as the in-person one; candidates who seem indifferent or unenthusiastic might not get invited for a face-to-face interview.
