Depending on job. As somebody who works for the church, we do have posts that need academics [and are paid, this is the United Methodist system we're talking about] like accounting.

GPA [actually, we don't use GPA here, we use something else, but whatever] is useful as it's like a first point of reference, but not always. We also put the candidate thru a battery of tests related to the job scope. We have to take both in account. But for big corporations, yes, GPA is first. As I said, GPA [or whatever scoring system] is first point of reference.
