Default Phone/Email interviews

Has anyone had an interview done over the phone or via email?
This seems to be a popular thing nowadays as recruiters have less time to bring everyone in to interview face to face.

Phone interviews would be alot easier I think.

Phone interviews are very common among the recruiters. I think they seldom meed with the candidates. The employers still want to meet you face to face though. Did you ever get hired only with a phone interview?

I can't remember the last time I met with a recruiter. I only talk to them over the phone. Imagine if they have to meet with every applicant. They just call the people they think are good for the job and they will meet with you only if necessary.

I once had a phone interview with the company that hired me. First I went to meet them face to face and then they called me at home as the final step of the hiring process. Sometimes they want to hear how you talk over the phone...
Most of the times the interview is with the recruiters.

Some Canadian recruiters insist on meeting you before they send you to an interview with actual employer, others don't. If you can get all the information about the job seeker by phone, it doesn't make sense to meet in person...
