  Unless you have publically stated that you will interview all applicants (which could obligate you legally), there is no legal requirement to do so.
  
  If you want to NOT interview someone specifically because of race, gender, etc., that would illegal as well.

  There is no legal requirement to interview every applicant. You should develop job-related screening criteria to justify/document why you screened an applicant in or out of the interview pool.

  Agree with the others. . we would spend our whole lives (well almost) if we intereviewed everyone.
  As David said we have critieria ie education, experience, license or certifications etc. Folks who are interviewed must meet all. We do require that there be at least 3 interviews for all positions. whatever you do, be consistent.

  I agree with the others. Also, it's a good idea to make sure your screening criteria is the same as the requirements listed on the job description for the position for which you're interviewing.
