Yes, not so much in the actual content of the applications, because the people really worked hard last year to do it, but as you may recall the due date was over Labour Day, the end of the summer, and people were at summer cottages, etc.
This year we didn't have anybody complaining about filling in the questionnaire and having to scramble to do it, so your advice to give the candidates more time was a good one. I think that they were more comfortable with the process. I'm not sure that it made a difference in the quality of what we got in the applications, but it certainly made a difference in the comfort level of the applicants and their ability to do it and do it the way they wanted to do it.
