Telephone interviews: a cost-effective way to select faculty

The telephone interviewing process was a very positive experience for the interviewers. It gave us the opportunity to collaborate together to determine how best to represent our own peers and find future peers. With minimal expense, it expedited the process of filling our positions. The efficiency and thoroughness of the interview process allowed us to fill the positions by holding only three on-campus interviews which were shorter (less than one day in length in one case) and within budgetary allotments.
