Again, we see here the tension between the needs of the employers and those of the applicants.
An applicant needs to be judged "fairly". More precisely, a false negative is unacceptable. This is especially critical when he's just above the "hiring bar".
An employer crumbles over CVs, and needs to judge fast. False positives are unacceptable. False negatives are no big deal. This is especially not critical when the applicant is just above the "hiring bar". There are others.
Hiring processes aren't designed to be fair to the applicants. They are designed to work for the employers. It's like a spam filter, except with tolerance reversed: no spam in, some ham out is cool. My gut tell me that it definitely sucks, but my brain fails to come up with a solution.
