Pre-Screening Applicants for Jobs

In this difficult time of recession, when every company is tightening their belts, many companies are tempted to try to hire qualified people on their own...without using an agency. How does an employer read, evaluate and consider hundreds of resumes to vet the best candidate for the one position they have advertised? Additionally, how can they be sure the person they are interviewing is what they represent themselves to be and have accomplished?
