Otherwise, I am always on my guard for CVs from people who aren't really testers but are just looking for something; I want to see evidence of a conscious choice for testing (qualifications, testing experience, use of test techniques, not just a list of skills).

Any old grey hairs out there willing to share some top tips for assessing a large pile of CVS?
Abuse welcome, if accompanied with a pearl of wisdom
Have no grey hair but what about coming up with a checklist of around 7 criteria points the CV must contain. Ditch all CV's that don't contain say 5/7 of these. Read these in more detail and come up with a shortlist. Interview and determine which candidate is bribable. (Not a word I don't think but should be) BOOMED!
I tend to skim read them, then make a judgement. Did it smack me between the eyes, yes ==> shortlist, No ==> bin.
There just isnt time to do this properly, and anyway, CV's and interview have got to be one of the worst ways ever invented of finding the right person. There is a lot of luck involved

Almost as bad as all the other ways except nepotism and bribery.
