Recruiter 1) Internal recruiters (big companies) ; 2) External recruiters (third-party, mid-small companies) Find people that match the job description, turn those people to HR/ hiring manager for further interviews ~20min, pre-qualification, to drill down to see if you are a good enough match - Tell me about your situation (what are you doing and are you happy doing that work) - What your time frame is (how soon do you want to get out of what you at) - What type of compensation are you seeking (be cautious, bring up salary during the initial call) - What do you like or don't like this place / Why do you want to leave - What are you looking for (they want to know what you want to be doing, and make sure that is largely what this job is, they want people who are excited/ enthusiastic about the work they are doing) - Do you have references/ Who are those references? (Don't go too detail, just give some generalizations) - Good questions to ask (about the position: travel, location, with whom I will work with, what can I expect, allow me to grow in a certain way, etc., engaging questions to show you are interested in the vision/ mission and excited about what they are doing) To express yourself in that way: try to smile when talking on the phone (it can be heard), speak with enthusiasm and excitement Ask what are the next steps ("when can I expect to hear back from you"), and get the contact information and ask if you could follow up (also help them to remind you). Basically this call is just to see if there is mutual interest. Think about what's important to you in this job, express to them to see if there is an interest, and if so, advance you to the next round (another phone/ Skype/ in person interview with the hiring manager)
Company size doesn't matter on the internal v. external front. I worked at a large agency and only worked with fortune 500 companies and now am internal with a startup.
I watched maybe 20 YT videos about how to pass a phone interview and this is the one that helped the most. I passed the interview with flying colors. Thank you so much, Don!
Thank you so much Don for creating this video. I applied these methods today to my phone interview and the recruiter actually stopped mid-sentence and stated that she was going to push me through to the next steps, manager with the hiring manager. I am definitely on to watching Top 30 interview questions and practicing for that interview! Thank you again.
I was randomly selected for a phone interview by a recruiter on LinkedIn and I’m so excited. I’ve been at the same position 6 years and ready for new opportunities, perspectives and growing my skills and creativity in a new environment! Needed the refresher on interviewing, thank you for the tips! 🎊
This video really eased my nerves, I had a meeting scheduled with a recruiter today and I watched this video beforehand and it taught me kind of what to expect. I was preparing for some kind of actual interview, but it just ended up being a few questions instead, like you said it probably would be. Thanks!
Hey Don! Your channel helps me a lot. I have to share with you something about follow up calls. I interviewed. I did very well. Didn't hear anything. Kept calling and following up. Week in. Week out. For aover 6 weeks. Then....called Monday at 10 am. Got to the manager. He asked where I was, and told me to get my butt to training. I was hired and NO ONE told me! Was 4 hrs late to training on my first day.....stayed 4 years and had a blast in the early 90s! FOLLOW UP TILL THEY SAY COME IN AND START RIGHT NOW. LOL. #trueStory
I sometimes struggle with short recruiter interviews. Some call you and it's essentially your first interview. They ask a handful of the common interview questions, you get a chance to make an introduction of yourself. Some ask you like 2 or 3 questions, and it comes across pretty informal. They might ask some variation of "tell me about yourself." They come across as a person going down a list of people to call. I almost feel like I can't express myself as I normally would. I usually do much better with the first type.
Don, I can't thank you enough for this video, and all of the interviewing resources you have on your channel. I just had my first job interview in almost 14 years. Your tips and suggestions helped to make my phone interview go incredibly well. Thank you, Don!!!!
Don, si, do you recomend a callphone to following? One recruiter told me that It shows that you're not atractive and you aré Willing to do anything for the job. They can offer you the lowest salary.
Thank you so much Don, I literally watched a dozen of your videos today because I have a phone interview tomorrow. And now you post this, it's perfect :)
I knew I needed help when my last phone interview didn't go so well. I was asked a lot of the STAR type questions, and I wasn't ready for the ones they asked. I have some in my back pocket, but they didn't work with the questions I was asked. This has been another informative session and certainly helpful. Thank you Don for all the great advice to slay an interview. Love your content!
Thank you for this! My last recruiter phone call didn't end in an interview, and I now know it's because it was more of a lateral move for me, and I didn't express how the new position would advance my career!
Hi Don, Great Video!! As I have been job hunting I thought it would be a good idea to prepare myself for all sort of interviews. My most recent phone screening went well, although there could have been improvements. However, the phone screener did want to setup an in-person interview. This particular company specializes in the agricultural industry, and this so happens to be the busy season. Long story short I was not chosen for an in-person interview unfortunately. This led me to want to continue to develop my professional business skills, so I can ace the next one!
Hey Don. Thanks very much. I used your phone interview techniques for a 45 mins phone interview and the recruiter was very excited. I moved to the next step for the interview yesterday and now they want me to interview with the VP of the company. I am going to watch your video on how to ace 3rd interview. I will be back with feed back on how it goes. Thank you for all your knowledge your are impacting on us.
I am so rusty but I'm always employed for long periods. Now, it's like going on a date after being in a long relationship!! lol So nervous! Got the 15 minute rodeo tomorrow! ugh
Thank you so much! Used this video along with others on your page to prepare for my phone interview with the Recruiter and IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going on to the next level!!! Thank you so much! I was so impressed with your videos that I purchased the 129 Most Answered questions guide from your website to help me at the next level! Thank you again for your help!
I had listen to this brother and trust mi this bro is talking about candidates that is going for higher positions,you something I think i had to do my own business.
I was head hunted once and I was an idiot to believe everything she said ended up telling her where to shove it which she didn’t like but I did finally get a job that I liked through following some of your technique and I will find another job thankyou 😊
Had a 2nd interview with a large company. My interviewer said she wasn’t sure if the position quite fit my background but she knew of 6 other positions that would work better. She asked if it would be okay for her to work with HR to facilitate those interviews to find the team that would mesh best. I sent a thank you note and searched the website to find the roles she mentioned; I found them. Am very used to being active and would love to send a follow up to both HR and the person that conducted the 2nd even though it has only been 3 days. I also just cleared 2nd interviews at 3 other companies and just finished up the final with another company. I’m waiting to hear back as to the results of the final. Given all this, I’d love to follow up but part of me thinks I should wait at least a week.
Had 18 minutes interview and then googled this video to find out why it was not productive for me . Its not English or nervousness to blame - just failed to ask range question and rest was just waste of time. Great video!
Good day Don. Watched this video couple of nights before my phone interview. Now headed to my face to face interview this Wednesday. :) Thank you so much!
Arg! This video is great but I hear so much conflicting into on discussing salary. Logically what he says (discuss it) makes sense. But I have heard more job coaches say that you should NEVER give them a range- that all it will do is give them a reason to cross you off their list.
You are Great at what you do. I've watched so many of your videos and i learn so much from them. I so look forward to applying these tips to my next interview. Thanks
@@DonGeorgevich Thanks so much! I did indeed nail it and got invited on campus for a 3rd interview and to shadow a senior team member to learn more about the position. Maybe topic for next video? 😉
Hi Don, thanks for these great tips on phone job interview. I have on Monday morning a job interview on the phone and I should pass it or advance to the next stage after I have watched your video. Thank you again.
I've always heard one should never ask about salary before an offer is made. I think it makes more sense to bring it up early as you suggest, but I'm concerned the employer would not appreciate it.
Hi Don, I just wanted to thank you for making these videos. I watched this video when I recruiter contacted me. I've watched the rest of your videos as well and after 4 rounds of challenging interviews I'm happy to say that I got the job! Your techniques and advice works 100%! All the best and Stay safe!
So helpful! What if you’ve read things about their org culture like comments on Glassdoor about a toxic workplace? Can you ask if their new leadership has made any changes to culture?
Is ok to ask why i wasn’t considered to use it as a learning experience for the next interview on my job hunt. I need all the constructive criticism I can get when applying for a New Grad cardiology nurse practitioner position.
Nice video, thanks for all the great info. I am in a unique situation: An internal recruiter for a big tech did not call and directly sent an email with all these questions ? She is asking all key info like salary expectations, why change, current duties, am I looking for switch, how far am I with other opportunities ? etc all on email ... I am not comfortable responding to person with whom I haven't even spoken once ... what would you do ?
Thank you Don ! Very very interesting !inspirational for my next interview hopefully ! Will see... difficult to manage the Time when you have a slot of 2 minutes for answering (Hirevue type). Any tip please ? Thank you!
think quickly and be succinct. But before your interview, think of your past projects and the value you brought and the problems you solved. doing this will help you to think on your feet.

good
What are some of the question a actual hiring manager will ask you after you have had a interview with a 3rd party recruiter?
Company size doesn't matter on the internal v. external front. I worked at a large agency and only worked with fortune 500 companies and now am internal with a startup.
Thank you. Was gonna listen again ❤

If they were asking STAR questions, you were past the initial phone interview stage. The initial phone interview is normally a recruiter or HR

I've always heard one should never ask about salary before an offer is made. I think it makes more sense to bring it up early as you suggest, but I'm concerned the employer would not appreciate it.
that's why it's good to ask what the range is rather than a specific salary.
