A graphic artist should have an incredible looking cool resume that catches your eye immediatly and MAKES you want to read more. Any graphic artist that doesn't have one like that isn't worth hiring.
Look over and read the top five or so and hire from that. Burn the rest.

if they're from monster.com they might be email or text... but it's not so hard.. when I changed positions in my last company, I had to look over about 200 applications for my position.. thing is 60% are immediately too junior or otherwise unqualified.. another 30% were poor communicators and/or just not quite up to standard/wanted relocation costs from india etc.
It was the last 10% you actually spent time looking through. It's strange.. I wouldn't apply for something I couldn't handle but so many people will fling a resume at the drop of a hat.. even for a senior position.
doesn't take long to look through their core skills and experience.. it's that last 10%.
