A telephone interview is an interview conducted over the telephone for employment, journalism, or whatever.
Employment
Often conducted in the initial interview round of the hiring process, this type of interview allows an employer to screen candidates on the candidates experience, qualifications, and salary expectations pertaining to the position and the company. The telephone interview saves the employers' time and eliminates candidates that are unlikely to meet the company’s expectations.[1]

With the telephone interview there may not be direct contact between the employer and employee, however, the expectations are still there. Telephone interviews are scheduled and questions are generally prepared in advance, similar to the way other interviews are conducted.
Reasons
The telephone interview allows both interviewee and interviewer to be in a more relaxed state.[citation needed] The interviewer can use the relaxed state to better gauge the interviewee, and pick up on things that may be disguised during the more formal interview process.[citation needed]
Another common reason a company looks to the telephone interview is that these interviews can be conducted on-the-fly. The interviewer does not have to assign company resources to the phone interview.[citation needed] It is a cost-effective method to short-list candidates for the position being interviewed for.[citation needed]
Journalism
In journalism, a reporter may conduct a telephone interview as part of investigative journalism or a live broadcast.
