Phone interview invitation email

When writing this email, it’s best to make sure your subject line clearly communicates that you’re sending a phone interview invitation. (Otherwise candidates may assume the worst and not open your message.) Keep your message brief. Mention the position you’re interviewing for and the timeframe for the interview. You may also use the same template for a video or Skype interview. You can customize this phone interview email template to give a more casual or formal tone, depending on your company culture. You can confirm the interview using our phone interview confirmation template.
