When doing more recruitment yourself you should try to do a tiered structure to the process, with a short 10 minute telephone interview to make sure you are happy with the next stage. Make sure you make notes and use these notes in your face to face interview.

Firstly sell the company/sell the role and make sure you are using this opportunity to get the candidate excited about your company and the role.

Here are Key questions to ask in the screening phone interview:

1. If there is any doubt, make sure they have a UK work VISA or what is their VISA status

2. If the candidate lives a long way away, ask about the
commute or how they plan to relocate.

3. If they need a driving license, ask if they have one.

4.Why did they want to apply for this role?

5. Why are they looking to leave their current job?

6. What is their current salary/package?

7. What salary/package are they looking for?

8. Do they have any other offers or interviews?

9. What is their notice period?

10.What is their interview availability?

11.  Do they have any relevant references?

If you carry out the pre-screening interview properly you should find the face-to-face interview process will run far smoother and you will have a better idea of each candidate before you even meet them.
