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.


❓ Why use Dover Interviewer?

Dover Interviewer employs interview specialists who are dedicated to running high-quality initial phone screens. Cumulatively, they have conducted thousands of phone screens spanning different types of roles.

  1. Triage: When your team is hiring, especially across multiple roles, you’ll likely have bandwidth constraints for initial phone screens, which can slow hiring down across the board and cause you to miss good candidates. Dover Interviewer allows you to implement a layer of triage before candidates advance to subsequent rounds thus removing your bandwidth constraints for initial phone screens and increasing the effectiveness of subsequent rounds.

  2. Give you time back: By spending less time on initial phone screens, you’ll have more time to iterate on the strategic components of the job search parameters, outreach, and later stages of the process. In addition to decreasing the amount of time you need to spend conducting initial calls, when you use Dover Interviewers, Dover can help you with scheduling and communicating with candidates.

  3. Screening: Ensure you talk to all of the candidates you're confident about and don't advance those who aren't a great fit right now.
