Take a look below at the telephone pre-screen one of my clients uses for frontline, hourly employees. Now, if you were the applicant and someone called you, asked you all those questions, and then invited you to come in for a personal interview, how would you figure out if it would be worth your time and effort to go?
The main reason most applicants make the appointment, but end up being no shows, is because they were leaving the door
open in case they didn’t find anything better in the meantime. (Surely you don’t think that once they agree to your interview they quit looking for a job.)
To minimize this frustration, ask them what other jobs they are considering and add a brief sales pitch for the job and the company to your question set.
