In a T&E, applications are either scored or rank ordered according to criteria that most closely align with the department's business. Candidates are typically scored/ranked relative to one another; consequently, when the pool of candidates is exceptionally strong, many qualified candidates may receive moderate or even low scores or ranks, resulting in them not being advanced in the process.
