Wendy ,
It sounds to me like you were very organized in your approach. One key to its success is having a well-written job description so that you can assess which candidates are strong, weak, or questionable. Decisions on which bucket to place a candidate into which are based upon the job description are easier to justify should there ever be a question. Given the current state of the economy, some candidates are becoming very aggressive out of necessity. Those candidates, however, need to realize the negative impact that might have on their candidacy.
