Our Company uses phone interviews to reduce the pool of candidates to a manageable size for interview, especially for national recruitment campaigns like the graduate scheme. |

And more and more organisations are doing the same, for two reasons:
- It allows employers to reduce the pool of applicants through a form of interview assessment. This is considered a more qualitative method than replying only on resumes or application forms to make yes/no decisions.
- But even if the company has reduced the pool though the usual method of reading resumes, it costs a lot less to interview candidates by phone than invite them all for a face to face meeting.
Face-to-face interviews will only be offered to those who 'pass' the phone interview.
When Will I Be Called?
You can be 'phone-interviewed' in two ways:
- By invitation, when you are given a time to call or a time to receive a call.
- Without invitation, i.e. unexpectedly!
So, while you're actively looking for a job, it's important to be prepared for a phone interview at a moments notice. You never know when a Company or Agency might call and ask if you have a few minutes to talk.
