Phone Interview

[expat]

Are contracts on phone intrerviews common, or is it not the norm in the UK?

I voted never, however I did get one contract on the strength of my CV. Had a phone call to discuss the rate and starting date
Then what I thought was going to be an interview turned out to be my first day

so why did you vote "Never", then?

a quick call about rates and availability doesn't class as an interview IMO

The point is you never got a face to face interview. The closest you got to an interview was by way of a phone call.

Yes, current gig was based on a phone interview.

Not sure if I was wearing a tie though.

Two phone interviews so far during my current on-the-bench stint, and no contract yet.

I wish they'd just get me in for a face-to-face instead. Still got 100% success with those.

I reckon 75% of my contracts have been phone interview only. Just having a think and my last 5 have been phone interview, can't remember any further back than that.
