When I was looking for a housemate a few years ago, I got inundated with responses. I threw out people who were French, people with AOL accounts, and anyone who mentioned any sort of dietary restriction. I chose very random things to eliminate people, just to pare the population down. That said, I don't think "guy held too many positions" gives you any sort of signal. This may help you get rid of every other applicant, but I doubt it will improve the average guy you interview. Being choosy about resume length also seems fairly random to me. If you are being inundated with the wrong kind of candidates, it probably means you aren't advertising the position exactly right. Churning through every resume on Monster isn't going to lead to much.
