Just drop half (or more) of all candidates based on whatever criteria you want, even if it’s just intuition / feeling.
Schedule a 15 minute call (tell them explicitly it’ll be 15 minutes so it’s easy to end it) before commiting to meeting in person. Use the information from the call to drop even more candidates.
If there are still too many candidates you can repeat step 1, but this time top-down. Say you want 2 dates this month, so you take your top 2 candidates and reach out to them. Rinse and repeat until you get 2 dates.
dropping another half seems tempting, but I’m afraid I’ll be more likely to be overaggressive in filtering and have too many false negatives perhaps. But the probability of each person working out is just so low that maybe it’s fine? Not sure about the math on this, I could be wrong
The 15-min call is a good idea, will start implementing, thanks!
If you end up finding that all of the dates you end up having are bad then you can consider the possibility that maybe your filtering isn’t good. But until then it’s likely fine.
Or you can literally flip a coin for each person to avoid bias.
