I expressed my thoughts on that on the Friday conference call. In case
this was misunderstood, I am *not against* objective criteria. I am
against *only* using objective criteria.
A mix of objective criteria and "deeper diving" with evaluation on a
case by case basis is IMHO the correct way to go. Perhaps the objective
criteria scoring would already eliminate a first layer of applications -
those not scoring very low on the criteria.
Kind regards,

Olivier
