Why Have Phone Interviews?

Two of us have used telephone interviews to reduce the pool of candidates to a manageable size for interview, especially for national recruitment campaigns like graduate schemes.

And more and more organisations are doing the same, for two reasons:

1. It allows employers to reduce the pool of job applicants through a form of interview assessment. This is considered a more quality method than relying only on resumes and CVs or job application forms to make yes/no decisions.
2. 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 telephone 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.
