Advice for Employers and Recruiters

Five Questions Employers Should Ask in Phone Interviews

Most employers hire candidates only after the candidate has gone through at least one and typically a series of face-to-face interviews. But before the candidate ever meets someone face-to-face, they’ll typically speak with a recruiter over the phone. And before that recruiter schedules any time sucking face-to-face interviews, they should take a few minutes to screen the candidate by asking these five questions:

  1. Why are you leaving your current position?
  2. Why do you want to work for our company?
  3. What are your career goals?
  4. How can you help us?
  5. How can we help you?

Of course, the answers that your organization wants to hear may correctly differ from the answers that another organization wants to hear, and you may even correctly want to hear different answers from different candidates depending upon the position to which they’re applying, the candidate, and other factors.
