The 1st step in screening out the obviously inappropriate candidate is the resume review. I should insert a word of warning here: sometimes, diamonds in the rough could be screened out from the group. I always keep in mind when reviewing resumes, that when in doubt, the benefit of the doubt should go to the applicant. I would at least interview him or her.
Job-hopping per se should not be a knockout, as it all too often is, but the reasons for those changes and the kind of changes might be. For example, individuals with the kind of strong personality we might wish to hire might just be the people who will not tolerate a job that obviously does not meet their needs. So, in some instances, the very people who are automatically eliminated because they are job-hoppers can be the very people that we might really want to hire.
