I have lived this scenario.
I did for a NY agency when I came from LA.
Yea that is confusing to me as well, my assumption is they have multiple people in the room and would prefer to not reveal that (for some reason)
^I always feel uncomfortable when they request a visual interview. Why should my appearance really matter if my work and my personality is something you are already in to? Makes me feel like if I was overweight or ugly then I may not get a job over someone else more attractive.
Agencies that care about culture will get you face to face with as many people as possible.
I'm located in a different state, but this is the second phone interview and it's with a director.
a bit confused as to why they'd opt for a phone call and not a video call.
For two different jobs I’ve been hired with just interviews over the phone, no in person or video (I was out of state), it wasn’t weird at all. Only done in person when I’m already in the city where I’m interviewing.
that's great to hear, thanks! @Starcom
Getting full-on hired? No. Phone and video interviews only get you to the next or final step of the interview process: an internal interview.
Unless there are legitimate circumstances that prevent you from coming in for an in-person interview, I don’t really see that as an option
But good on you for making it to a 2nd interview! Never heard of interviews going past 3 so that’s good news :)
Thanks, appreciate your help @spark
They may have multiple accounts that have openings so multiple directors/ADs are in the room. Like a panel. And if one of them wants you, you’re good. So not a bad thing at all, if that’s the case
That’s how we do it here at least, but typically in person
Living proof of it here, but I was returning after being gone ~5 years. Wasn't wierd.
For an internship, but otherwise wouldn't accept a permanent job at a place that did.
It depends on the level. If it's a junior level role, sometimes we won't fly them out due to budget. But any mid-level and higher person, I would never hire without an in-person meeting. That said, I've never had to staff up insanely fast.
I got hired with just phone interviews when I moved to LA. I had another offer come in during the interview process, and I guess they were interested enough to not waste time and just made an offer. I imagine this is the exception, not the rule though.
