Maybe only accept applications by post.

  Ok - this obviously doesn't work everywhere but recently was flown to a city for an interview. Day long, full loop, 5 45 min interviews + 1 working session with a panel. Had dinner with the team the night before. There's no way to cheat at that point. You either have what they need (yay btw) or its not a fit

    The above posts are discussing how to evaluate and narrow down the avalanche of applications to decide who to fly in for an interview.

  Though honestly 40 years ago, sending out hundreds of cookie cutter applications by post wasn’t that hard. I do agree that once someone gets through an initial filter and screen they should be willing to meet in person. That has costs on both sides but, during the tech boom, one heard a lot of complaints by applicants that they’re no going to travel for interviews, dinner, etc. <shrug>
