Many search committees find it beneficial to utilize an initial telephone or Skype
interview to identify the final candidates for on-campus interviews. Keep in mind
telephone or Skype conversation will count as part of the interview process. An approval
for the initial round of interviews (regardless of interview format) must be obtained
from Human Resources prior to the interview. It is not necessary to obtain additional
approval from Human Resources for subsequent rounds of interviews of the same interview
group, including in person interviews.
