Lauren,
You are right on target. We, too, are finding many more applicants for each position and many more who are not qualified. It seems that many people simply don't take the time to read the job description and, if they do, assume they are qualified if they meet some of the qualifications. I guess there are those who hope that we won't find anyone else so will accept them as that warm body to fill the position. That well written job description allows you to set the standard and maintain it.
