> It was really hard to filter down who to interview because they all look the same and we only had one position

Did you make up some BS metrics, or did you do the honest thing and draw résumés from a hat?

From my experience, when you have too many similar resumes there are no useful metrics you can define. You just have to choose some to interview and bin the rest.
That's pretty much what I meant by "do the honest thing and draw some from a hat", thanks for the information.
That was my bosses problem. If we have more than 10 résumés he filters them and tells me. He used to be technical so he can filter well enough and I can focus on real work not hiring.
