Uh, what? I was talking about a $2000 cost to the job seeker. It may not be that much for professional, but it's nothing to sneeze at either (I've seen people making a multiple of 120k fret over much less than 2k). The GP was talking about doing the 'screening test' for everybody who passed a first qualification stage. I don't know where you work, but having 15 'might qualified from a cursory glance at CV' applicants is very normal. Basically it's everybody who can use a computer and format a CV without using Comic Sans, and is smart enough to phrase his work experience or degree so that it sounds like it might have something to do with the advertised job offer.
