Overview
Dover orchestrates thousands of interview processes each month, giving us insight into hiring at its various stages. One of the most critical stages of the hiring funnel is the initial phone screen which, if done successfully, sets a positive tone and pace for the candidate’s experience. Successfully executing this stage requires getting the most qualified candidates in the door, scheduling them quickly, and speaking to them while there's sufficient mutual interest.
Given the influx of candidates at this point in the funnel, handling the volume of initial screening calls can overwhelm even the best hiring managers and recruiters leading them to pause their efforts. Pauses lead to increased time to hire, cost per hire, and unhealthy candidate pipelines.
