RE-POST - In the past I’ve always advised my clients to start the hiring process with a face-to-face interview. But with the increased pressure to hire as quickly as possible and the challenge of scheduling, the phone interview is becoming more and more prevalent. Nearly 50% of all first interviews with my clients are done over the phone.

As a search consultant (not just a head hunter) I need to follow these trends and be sure I am providing information to both clients and candidates on how to best prepare and conduct an effective phone interview. To that end, I’ve connected with Paul Bailo, CEO and founder of Phone Interview Pro www.phoneinterviewpro.com and author of the #1 selling interview book on Amazon.com, The Official Phone Interview Handbook. Paul is an accomplished marketer and entrepreneur; he founded a successful agency and held senior marketing roles at GE Money and American Express. I’ve had very interesting conversations with Paul about his business and the art (for him more of a science) of successful phone interviews.

Rather than just summarize on a blog post, I asked Paul if he would present at the next Pile and Company Networking event, and he graciously agreed. So here’s your chance to become an expert on how to prepare and conduct yourself during a phone interview. June 22nd at 6:00pm Paul will be presenting at our office in Boston.
