Phone interview invitation email template

Phone interviews usually need less setup than video interviews, but they need sharper logistics.

Date: [Date]
Time: [Time] [Time Zone]
Estimated length: [Duration]

When to use this template

  • When the interview will happen by phone
  • When you need to confirm the right call number
  • When there is no meeting link to share

Tips for writing the email

  • Ask for the best callback number in the invite.
  • Mention whether the call is a recruiter screen or a team interview.
  • Keep the message short. Phone interviews are usually the simplest interview format.

What to edit before you send it

Phone interview invites are easy to get wrong through omission. The missing piece is usually the callback number or the expectation around who will call whom.
