It used to be a combination of the resume, the cover letter, and the interview, but the system has broken down because of Human Resources meddling in the process. As soon as you get someone who is not an SME in the filtering process the ability to see deep into the data provided through the resume and cover is lost. I don't know how many times I've asked for the whole pool of candidates after the HR filter to find out quite a few good candidates were left on the cutting room floor. There is always the fear of fluffing taking place in both docs, but the interview was supposed to help filter those people out of the mix. Unfortunately, you're not allowed to ask delving questions during an interview any more, because of HR rules and their fear of potential lawsuits. It sucks trying to hire anyone these days.
