Its a sunk cost. You won't know if they pass or not until you interview them.

- twblalock 9y agoWhat part is the sunk cost? Interviewing applicants takes time out of a lot of peoples' busy days. They don't have to spend that time if the company doesn't bring the applicant in for an interview.
- coralreef 9y agoThat's obvious enough. Any recruiting funnel will have a criteria of requirements that the prospect needs to fulfill. Then they're brought in for a technical interview. There's no escaping that. You don't give automatically give them a job because they listed a 4.0 GPA on their CV and were nice on the phone.
- Buge 9y agoIf you weed out a large percent due to low GPA, then you've saved time interviewing those people.
- coralreef 9y agoYou would also weed out a lot of fantastic talent, who aren't motivated by school or didn't go to school. In programming, this is a significant amount of people.

- varjag 9y agoUgh, plenty of people are not motivated by school, but manage to pass it with decent grades. I'd personally stay away from "talent" who can work just on the assignments they have genuine deep interest in.
