I typically start with a small chat, then thank them for their interest in our posting followed up an introduction of my own. I then explain the purpose and process on this preliminary interview. Talk about the position/client and move into asking questions about their resume. The questions are typically focused on filling in any gaps or areas that need elaborating. Next I give an opportunity for the candidate to ask questions. Once answered, I conclude with next steps. I provide them with my contact information and a general timeline of when to get information regarding the next steps.
I call/email the candidate. Thank them for their interest and time in applying for the position and inform them their application will not be moving forward at this time. Should anything change I will be in touch.
