What differences in hiring practices have you observed between Fortune 100 companies and smaller companies?

assessment tools (quizzes, etc) - this helps score candidates more objectively so that recruiters can only focus on the high ranking people

Smaller businesses focus on cover letters, phone calls with applicants, and more subjective interactions. On a broad level, smaller businesses are quick to hire, slow to fire. Larger ones are slow to hire, quicker to fire.
