Example of Screening Matrix
A screening matrix can help quickly verify each candidate’s possession of required knowledge, skills and abilities. It also allows you an
opportunity to look at the candidates “side-by-side”.
As an example, this matrix is designed for use with an accounting position; the fields will be revised to fit your specific position. All candidates
are measured against the same set of criteria.
