Welcome to Manager Tools.

How to do a phone screen interview. Part 3. Here we go.

A lot of managers are a surprise mark when you tell them that the manager should actually make the call to the candidate.

Not the other way around, not the candidate calling.

Yeah, and we can discuss that more, but it's really easy to come to that conclusion if you ask the companies

who are really, really good people who have of that's

you ask the companies who are really, really good people who have really rigid

processes with high standards if you ask them they say no no we're the one that makes

a call it's this is simply how it's done.

Recruiting and hiring managers want to send a message that my time with you is important

to me and I care enough about it to be prepared and to be prompt. Now I'm going to give you guys an out. You don't have to do it this way. This is not

black and white. I don't know. I think part of Manator Tools's value is to help people

understand at one level what other people are doing. of manager

to tools value is to help people understand at one level what other people are doing

because the average manager doesn't know.

I mean, we talk all the time about the average manager.

It certainly was true for you and me as we were learning.

It was like, everybody else else knows but I don't and I'm worried that people will find out I really don't know what I'm doing.

I'm making my best decisions but I don't know if there's any better way. I don't know if there's a right way and all the

other managers that you know are also afraid so they're not telling you what

they're doing because they're afraid it's wrong too. Yeah there are plenty of

managers who say I'm gonna give them a time to call and if they're not professional enough to call me at that time, that's a reason to say no.
