From post-assessment to interview in a faculty recruitment in Denmark I have heard about cases in Denmark where candidates for a faculty position got through an assessment by some committee members as &quot;qualified&quot; but did not get interviews eventually. What is the process to go from post-assessment to interview in a faculty recruitment? For example, is there a ranking from the assessment committee? I am just curious since this procedure (post-assessment -&gt; interview) seems obscure and hardly written in a university's hiring policies, even in a highly transparent system like in Scandinavian countries.
The University of Copenhagen documents that part of their recruitment process as follows:


Assessment

• The Assessment Committee makes a non-prioritised assessment of the academic qualifications of applicants with respect to research, teaching and outreach and other requirements listed in the advertisement.
• HR undertakes legality checks and sends assessments out to applicants for consultation.

Interviews

• The manager tasked with recruitment decides in conjunction with the Appointments Committee which of the applicants submitted for assessment are to be invited for interview and possibly a trial lecture.
• Academic and personal characteristics are assessed and explored in more detail at interview.

So, there is a selection, but no ranking.
