If someone cannot take the time to write correctly on an important application that could influence their working career, why should I assume that they will take the time to do the routine parts of the job correctly?
Yes, 80% is high, especially since all applicants had college degrees. When a job requires writing reports and communicating with clients, the employee MUST be able to write! It's a tough world.

That's true, this little detail is often overlooked, how one writes something that important is definitely a reflection of how they will react to something even bigger...

And if the did not learn that while being "educated", one wonders what other basic things they also missed.

Sometimes, it's not that they didn't learn, they just didn't pay attention to it or maybe they took it for granted. They must have felt you were gonna understand anyways, it may be they thought their CV will speak for them.....

Not paying attention or taking it for granted are both not learning! Learning is to know and either you know something or you do not. You don't get a passing grade when you check the "I wasn't paying attention" box.
The CV does speak, but so does the hand written display of their ability to communicate in writing. A job applicant must be at their best and not expect the interviewer to decipher their speech.
My favorite interview was for a software engineer: the girl sat on the chair in front of my desk and asked, "Is this going to take long?"
I stood up and said, "No, I think we're through already."
You also have to actually want a job and be mentally prepared at the interview.

I never saw it that way and that really is true...
And the girl, she asked that question? Wow! She clearly has no interest in the job... Getting mentally prepared definite is key...

When you are interviewing someone who will be doing a vital job for you on your staff, you have to make certain that they are capable of doing quality work. If they do a bad job, it will require more of your own time to correct the problems and could lead to you losing your own job because you were not capable of selecting the proper staff.
Your staff is a reflection of your own ability to manage. You do not hire someone just because they say they they are qualified or that you like them personally; you hire them because they are the best you can find with the needed qualifications.

Sadly, only a few people have such discipline. Most people these days hire people because they know them, or like ten not because they are qualified for it. And some, they are just too lazy to do a good job. Well, they always end up paying for their laziness...
I am not sure I will ever be in a position to hire people but that definitely are great lessons to hold on to.
