Did a quick search but didn't see this topic come up...
For those of you that have had a hand in hiring at your dept, are backgrounds scrutinized on their own or are they looked at as a whole with other backgrounds of applicants at the same stage?
For instance, if all candidates are squeeky clean, do minor blips in a background become more substancial and are scrutinized more than they normally would be because other backgrounds are equally good, or are they all graded against a standard benchmark reguardless of other applicants?
I don't know if i'm explainining my question very clearly so let me know if I'm not and I can try again.
Thanks for any insight.
Stay safe!
