5/1/2018

Phone interviews have become the norm. It’s a great way to learn more about the candidate before bringing them in for a face-to-face interview; they save everyone involved time and effort. With the candidate’s resume and LinkedIn profile pulled up in front of them, recruiters and hiring managers can weed out unqualified and uninterested candidates without leaving their desk. But, if you want to be effective in conducting phone interviews, there are a few things to note.

“Do you have any questions for me?” If you really want the job, do not answer with a “No.”

That’s your cue to turn the tables around and be the interviewer. Asking questions shows the hiring manager that you’re interested and serious about the getting the job. Most hiring managers and recruiters are more likely to hire a candidate that asks questions rather than just answering.

Waiting around for applicants on job boards won’t guarantee you a perfect candidate. Did you know that only 32% of hired candidates are sourced from job boards? That would suggest only a small percentage of the workforce sees your company’s job board. Only ‘active’ candidates (those looking to leave their current positions) are typically surfing through job boards.

According to LinkedIn’s 2016 Global Talent Trends, 90% of professionals are open to speaking to a recruiter but only 36% of the working force are active candidates. So, who are the remaining 64%? They are your passive candidates.
