• Preliminary HR Interview
• For most Hiring Managers, the first step after
  getting a resume is a Screening Interview which
  is telephonic.
• Roughly 30 minutes should be set aside for this
  task in a day.
• Applicants might not always be available at the
  first instance when you make a call. Another 30
  minutes can be allocated for Call Backs and Not
  Responding numbers. Next step would be to send
  out the Job Descriptions to the applicants who
  are interested and might be a fit for the role.
• Telephonic Interview
• Before you call the applicant to the office, your
  Interviewer might want to assess his
  capabilities.
